The lesson in words
Someone has already dropped a heart on this trick, so whoever wins it takes a point. The king of diamonds is winning.
Play a diamond under the king, and the trick goes to someone else. Using your highest card that still loses (here the 9) gets rid of a dangerous middle card too.
Keep the heart away from you.
Try it: Play a card that doesn’t win the trick.
Play your highest card that still loses the trick.
