Find your footing in Scorpion Solitaire
A clear plan starts with the current position. Complete four same-suit king-to-ace runs. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Use the rule sheet as a reference. Move a face-up card with its tail onto the next higher same-suit rank. Kings fill empty columns. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
Seven columns; three stock cards dealt once to the first three columns. Free solo play, no wagering.
