Move all 52 cards to the four foundations, each built up from Ace to King in one suit.

No — not every random deal can be won, especially in Turn 3, but the large majority are. If a deal dead-ends, deal a fresh one.

Spider uses two decks and ten columns, and instead of foundations you build King-to-Ace runs by suit inside the tableau; each finished run is removed.

You may stack any card on one a rank higher regardless of colour, which keeps play flexible, but only an unbroken same-suit run can move as a group or be removed.

Begin with one-suit to learn the flow, move to two-suit for a challenge, and try four-suit once you're comfortable.

Yes — free, 24/7, no download and no signup, with undo and hints.

Almost all. In the famous 32,000 Microsoft deals, every one except deal #11982 has been proven solvable.

Each holds a single card of any kind as temporary storage, letting you move a blocking card aside and bring it back later.

You can only shift as many cards as your open cells and empty columns allow — free some up to move bigger groups.

Yukon has no stock — every card is dealt to the tableau — and you can move any face-up card together with all cards on top of it, not just ordered runs.

No — that's the defining Yukon rule. You can lift any face-up card and whatever sits on top of it, then drop the group onto a card one higher in the opposite colour.

Build all four foundations up from Ace to King by suit, moving every card home.

Scorpion uses one deck, builds strictly by suit in the tableau, and lets you move any face-up card with the pile on top of it; there's only a three-card stock instead of full deals.

When you're out of moves you deal those three cards, one onto each of the first three columns — a single, one-time reserve, so time it well.

Build four complete King-to-Ace sequences, one in each suit, entirely within the tableau.
