How to play Scorpion Solitaire

Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Scorpion Solitaire. Complete four same-suit king-to-ace runs. Use the example below to understand a decision. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.

Seven columns; three stock cards dealt once to the first three columns. Free solo play, no wagering.

Keep the aim in sight

Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Refer to the controls when needed.

Your goal

Complete four same-suit king-to-ace runs. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Start with a deliberate move.

Step by step

  1. Move a face-up card with its tail onto the next higher same-suit rank. Kings fill empty columns.
  2. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
  3. Use foundations where available; full Spider or Scorpion runs clear automatically.
  4. Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.

Controls

Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Use the control method described here for this activity. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.

A useful example

The trailing cards may be unordered, but the destination suit and rank must match. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the game’s format in mind.

Watch out for this

Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Check the rule before repeating the action. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
