5: Do not automatically believe the computer when it tells you that there are no more moves left.
Always verify this information for yourself, by checking all the possibilities. Ninety-five times out of 100, the computer will be correct. For those other 5 times, keep playing. In fact, to win, you may have to make a move that the computer will consider an end-game, in order to set your cards up in a way for you to continue playing and win. Here's an example of that.
Here's what the page looks like after I click "return and try again." This is the exact same stage as above, just with the
"no move" window closed.
"no move" window closed.
I am going to clear the 3rd column from the left. To do this, I place the 8 of hearts onto the 9 of spades. I put the 9 of diamonds onto the 10 of diamonds.
I then put the 5 of spades onto the 6 of clovers. I put the 8 of clovers onto the 9 of diamonds. Just like that, a column is cleared, after the computer had told me that there weren't any moves left.
I'm not done yet. I see that I can actually clear the first column from the right, too, by using my split-row technique. I move the 3 of spades into the empty column. I then move 4 of hearts onto the 5 of spades. I move the 3 of spades back onto the 4 of hearts. Now, I have two columns clear (after the computer told me there weren't any moves left). As to the end of this game, here:
Moral of the story: Don't always believe the computer.
6: Do not worry if the first deal doesn’t contain (m)any cards you can move.
In the game pictured below, I was only able to move 2 cards in the first round. I won the game anyway. Start with the assumption that the game you are playing is winnable. Sometimes, it will be at the last deal that everything comes together. If it doesn't, that doesn't mean the game is not winnable. It just means you need to employ tip # 7 or tip # 8.
