The Russian Solitaire playbook
Before making a move, check the cards in view. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Use another round to revisit a decision. For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Move any face-up card and its tail onto the next higher rank of the same suit. Kings fill empty columns. Use another round to revisit a decision.
Yukon-style deal, same-suit building, no stock. Free solo play, no wagering.
Practice beyond the first move
Work at your own pace. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.

One detail worth checking
Take a moment to read the table. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
