Canfield Solitaire: from controls to your first round
Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. 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. Check the relevant controls before continuing. A clear plan starts with the current position. Build tableau runs down in alternating colours, wrapping ace to king. Reserve cards refill empty columns automatically. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
Thirteen reserve cards, four columns, draw-three recyclable stock. Free solo play, no wagering.
Try a more deliberate 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.
