Bring this focus to a round

Look at the complete hand before deciding. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.

Your objective

  2. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
  3. Move exposed cards onto suit foundations in the stated rank order.

A useful example

A heart 6 fits a heart 7, not a spade 7. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
