An introduction to playing Pyramid Solitaire
Begin with the objective. Remove all 28 pyramid cards. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Check the relevant controls before continuing. Work at your own pace. Only uncovered cards are selectable. Pairs total 13; a king removes alone. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
Pyramid, stock and waste; one stock recycle. Free solo play, no wagering.
Give this approach a try
For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Tap exposed cards that satisfy the removal rule shown above. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.

Work through an example
An exposed queen pairs with an ace; a jack pairs with a 2. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
