Making your first moves in Scorpion Solitaire
Look at the complete hand before deciding. Complete four same-suit king-to-ace runs. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. Take a moment to read the table. Move a face-up card with its tail onto the next higher same-suit rank. Kings fill empty columns. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
Seven columns; three stock cards dealt once to the first three columns. Free solo play, no wagering.
Try a more deliberate round
Before making a move, check the cards in view. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

How your actions work
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. Use the rule sheet as a reference.
A useful example
The trailing cards may be unordered, but the destination suit and rank must match. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
Watch out for this
For a calm first round, focus on one decision. 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.
