How to play Canfield Solitaire
Use the rule sheet as a reference. 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. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. Look at the complete hand before deciding. Build tableau runs down in alternating colours, wrapping ace to king. Reserve cards refill empty columns automatically. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
Thirteen reserve cards, four columns, draw-three recyclable stock. Free solo play, no wagering.

With base rank 5, a foundation runs 5 through king, then ace through 4. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
One detail worth checking
For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Use another round to revisit a decision.
