When you’ve got rid of one of the piles at the bottom of the screen, you can move cards into it. Those cards can come from the top of one of the other piles, or from the columns above that you’ve already played.
This is a great way to reveal more cards in other piles, and to correct mistakes you might have made when laying down other cards. Quite often you can turn defeat into victory by utilizing the empty spaces left at the bottom of the screen.
It’s really important that you’re constantly checking your suits. Not just the suit the card bears, but the suits that can be laid on top of it. It’s all well and good laying down a card, but if you can’t play anything on top of it then you’re pretty much screwed.
This is really the core of the game and the sooner you get it down the better you’re going to do. It’s even more important in expert mode, where you can’t lay more than on of the same card in the same column OR row.
The cards you put at the top of your columns want to have as many suits at the bottom as possible. Your options are limited to start off with, so keeping them as open as possible is the best way to make sure you’re going to be able to finish.
The further down a column you go, the more your options will be naturally closed off by the choices you’ve made. So if you’re putting a card with three potential suit choices at the third position, you’re really wasting an opportunity.
