How to play Scorpion Solitaire

Scorpion Solitaire gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Complete four same-suit king-to-ace runs. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

Seven columns; three stock cards dealt once to the first three columns. Free solo play, no wagering.

Notice the feedback

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Keep the objective visible.

Your goal

Complete four same-suit king-to-ace runs. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

Step by step

1. Move a face-up card with its tail onto the next higher same-suit rank. Kings fill empty columns.
2. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
3. Use foundations where available; full Spider or Scorpion runs clear automatically.
4. Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.

Controls

Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Use the control method described here for this activity. Use one clear input at a time.

A useful example

The trailing cards may be unordered, but the destination suit and rank must match. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Verify the rule before continuing.

Watch out for this

Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
