See how the rules apply
A mixed-suit descending stack cannot move as one group. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
A useful caution
Use the rule sheet as a reference. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
