Rules, controls and help for Russian Solitaire

Work at your own pace. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. A clear plan starts with the current position. Move any face-up card and its tail onto the next higher rank of the same suit. Kings fill empty columns. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

Yukon-style deal, same-suit building, no stock. Free solo play, no wagering.

Try a more deliberate round

For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

Understand the aim

Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Treat this as a chance to practise one rule.

How to proceed

  1. Move any face-up card and its tail onto the next higher rank of the same suit. Kings fill empty columns.
  2. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
  3. Move exposed cards onto suit foundations in the stated rank order.
  4. Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.

The controls to know

Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Check the relevant controls before continuing. Use the rule sheet as a reference.

Try this example

A heart 6 fits a heart 7, not a spade 7. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

An important reminder

For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
