Canfield Solitaire: how a round works
Keep the active rule in mind. Complete four suited foundations beginning at the dealt base rank and wrapping king to ace. 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. Build tableau runs down in alternating colours, wrapping ace to king. Reserve cards refill empty columns automatically. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
Thirteen reserve cards, four columns, draw-three recyclable stock. Free solo play, no wagering.

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.
One way to understand the rules
With base rank 5, a foundation runs 5 through king, then ace through 4. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
A useful caution
Work at your own pace. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Use another round to revisit a decision.
