Read before your next round of Scorpion Solitaire
Use the rule sheet as a reference. Complete four same-suit king-to-ace runs. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Use another round to revisit a decision. A clear plan starts with the current position. Move a face-up card with its tail onto the next higher same-suit rank. Kings fill empty columns. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
Seven columns; three stock cards dealt once to the first three columns. Free solo play, no wagering.
Practice beyond the first move
Look at the complete hand before deciding. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.

How your actions work
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Keep the active rule in mind.
Follow the example
The trailing cards may be unordered, but the destination suit and rank must match. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
A useful caution
A clear plan starts with the current position. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
