One way to understand the rules

An exposed queen pairs with an ace; a jack pairs with a 2. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.

A mistake to avoid

Begin with the objective. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
