How to play Aces Up Solitaire

Four cards are dealt, one to each of four columns. Only the top card of each column counts.

If two top cards share a suit, discard the lower one. Aces are high, so an Ace can never be discarded. Keep discarding while you can.

When a column is empty, you can move any top card into it, which uncovers the card underneath. When you run out of plays, tap the deck to deal four more cards, one onto each column. You win when the deck is used up and only the four Aces remain.

Why empty columns matter

Aces Up has no building at all. Your only tools are discards and the empty column. A buried Ace or high card can trap several cards under it, and moving it to an empty column is the only way to free them.

Every discard pays off twice: it removes a card and may expose a new top card that can be discarded too.

Aces Up Solitaire tips

• Move Aces into empty columns. They can't be discarded, so they belong at the bottom of a column.
• Before you deal, make every discard and move you can.
• If you have a choice, move a card that uncovers a discard, not one that just shifts the board.
• Try not to stack a high card on top of a lower card of the same suit in one column.
• Hint shows a useful move; Undo lets you replay a deal step.
