Pyramid Solitaire: learn through an example

Look at the complete hand before deciding. Remove all 28 pyramid cards. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Use another round to revisit a decision. Before making a move, check the cards in view. Only uncovered cards are selectable. Pairs total 13; a king removes alone. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

Pyramid, stock and waste; one stock recycle. Free solo play, no wagering.

An idea for your next attempt

Work at your own pace. Tap exposed cards that satisfy the removal rule shown above. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

What the game asks you to do
