Read before your next round of Pyramid Solitaire
A clear plan starts with the current position. Remove all 28 pyramid cards. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Only uncovered cards are selectable. Pairs total 13; a king removes alone. Use another round to revisit a decision.
