First, the game is played with two separate set of cards and 104 cards are on the table, where 54 four of them are divided into ten columns and showing only the top card. So, the player has four cards to play and fifty remaining cards are aside without any of them showing.
Secondly, depending on the difficulty level of the game chosen by the player the cards may be categorized in one, two or four different suits that have to match to make valid moves on the board. While cards can be moved from one column to the other, they must match in terms of decreasing numerical sequence, but if all of them are of the same suit in intermediate and advanced levels.
Continuing, all the cards in the column must be moved and organized in descending level from King to Ace, when this is achieved these cards and columns will disappear of the board. Now, if it results impossible to still performing movements and four letters in the personal deck are used, the player just must click on the 50-card deck resting on the right side to add new letters and moves to the game.
