The challenge in front of you
Remove all 28 pyramid cards. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
Start here and follow along
- Only uncovered cards are selectable. Pairs total 13; a king removes alone.
- Click an exposed card or eligible pair to remove it.
- Draw when useful.
- Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.
Getting comfortable with the controls
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
An example before you play
An exposed queen pairs with an ace; a jack pairs with a 2. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the game’s format in mind.
A common point of confusion
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Check the rule before repeating the action. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
