Learn the rules of Russian Solitaire
For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Check the relevant controls before continuing. Before making a move, check the cards in view. Move any face-up card and its tail onto the next higher rank of the same suit. Kings fill empty columns. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
Yukon-style deal, same-suit building, no stock. Free solo play, no wagering.
Practice with a purpose
A clear plan starts with the current position. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.

An example before you play
A heart 6 fits a heart 7, not a spade 7. Use another round to revisit a decision.
Where a round can go wrong
Begin with the objective. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
