Your guide to Scorpion Solitaire
Before making a move, check the cards in view. 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. Look at the complete hand before deciding. Move a face-up card with its tail onto the next higher same-suit rank. Kings fill empty columns. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
Seven columns; three stock cards dealt once to the first three columns. Free solo play, no wagering.
Practice with a purpose
Work at your own pace. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.

Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. A clear plan starts with the current position.
A useful example
The trailing cards may be unordered, but the destination suit and rank must match. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
