Make each move count
Build tableau down in alternating colors, one card at a time. Each suit foundation begins at the base rank and builds upward around the corner; draw stock cards to a waste pile without redealing.
Alternating-color building creates short routes, but an empty pile is more flexible. Do not fill it until the next needed rank is visible.
Turn progress into a win
The waste has only one pass. Check whether its top card can join a foundation or free a tableau card before drawing again.
Complete all four suit foundations.
