Know the goal in Klondike Solitaire
Keep the active rule in mind. 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. Before making a move, check the cards in view. Build down in alternating colours; kings fill empty columns. Valid ordered runs move together. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
One deck; draw-one or draw-three stock; waste recycling. Free solo play, no wagering.
Give this approach a try
For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.

A red 6 fits a black 7, not another red 7. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
A mistake to avoid
Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. 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.
