Follow the steps for Forty Thieves Solitaire
Begin with the objective. Build eight 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. Keep the active rule in mind. Move one card at a time; build down in the same suit. Empty columns accept one card. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
Two decks, ten columns, single-pass stock, no recycle. Free solo play, no wagering.
Practice with a purpose
Keep the active rule in mind. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Use another round to revisit a decision.

The order of play
- Move one card at a time; build down in the same suit. Empty columns accept one card.
- Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
- Move exposed cards onto suit foundations in the stated rank order.

How your actions work
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Use another round to revisit a decision. For a calm first round, focus on one decision.
Try this example
A club 5 can move onto a club 6, but a whole run cannot move together. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Look at the complete hand before deciding. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Use another round to revisit a decision.
