The lesson in words

A 7♥ on an 8♥ can later move with it. A 7♥ on an 8♠ can’t: it makes a joint that has to be untangled later.

When two moves are possible, choose the one in suit.

The 6♥ can go on either 7.

Try it: Move the 6♥ onto the 7 that keeps it in suit.

Two in-suit moves: the 8♠ onto the 9♠, or the 10♥ onto the J♥. Only one of them turns a face-down card over.

Try it: Make the in-suit move that uncovers a card.

In suit when you can, and uncover cards when you can. Next: empty columns.
