Understand the basics of Canfield Solitaire
Keep the active rule in mind. Complete four suited foundations beginning at the dealt base rank and wrapping king to ace. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Check the relevant controls before continuing. For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Build tableau runs down in alternating colours, wrapping ace to king. Reserve cards refill empty columns automatically. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
Thirteen reserve cards, four columns, draw-three recyclable stock. Free solo play, no wagering.
Practice beyond the first move
For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
What counts as success
Complete four suited foundations beginning at the dealt base rank and wrapping king to ace. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. Take a moment to read the table.

With base rank 5, a foundation runs 5 through king, then ace through 4. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
A mistake to avoid
Use the rule sheet as a reference. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Use another round to revisit a decision.
