Know the goal in Klondike 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. Work at your own pace. Build down in alternating colours; kings fill empty columns. Valid ordered runs move together. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
One deck; draw-one or draw-three stock; waste recycling. Free solo play, no wagering.

A red 6 fits a black 7, not another red 7. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
A useful caution
Before making a move, check the cards in view. 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.
