Scorpion Solitaire: a guide for your next round
Look at the complete hand before deciding. Complete four same-suit king-to-ace runs. 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. Move a face-up card with its tail onto the next higher same-suit rank. Kings fill empty columns. Use another round to revisit a decision.
Seven columns; three stock cards dealt once to the first three columns. Free solo play, no wagering.
Practice beyond the first move

One way to understand the rules
The trailing cards may be unordered, but the destination suit and rank must match. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
A useful caution
Begin with the objective. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Use another round to revisit a decision.
