Canfield Solitaire: how a round works
For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Complete four suited foundations beginning at the dealt base rank and wrapping king to ace. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. Look at the complete hand before deciding. Build tableau runs down in alternating colours, wrapping ace to king. Reserve cards refill empty columns automatically. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
Thirteen reserve cards, four columns, draw-three recyclable stock. Free solo play, no wagering.
Bring this focus to a round
Work at your own pace. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.

From the start of a round
- Build tableau runs down in alternating colours, wrapping ace to king. Reserve cards refill empty columns automatically.
- Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
- Move exposed cards onto suit foundations in the stated rank order.
- Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.

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. For a calm first round, focus on one decision.
A useful example
With base rank 5, a foundation runs 5 through king, then ace through 4. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
Pay attention to this rule
