<p class="" dir="auto" data-start="1665" data-end="2002">A quick look at the entire tableau can reveal important opportunities before you make your first move. Look for cards that can be placed together, columns containing useful hidden cards, and areas where rearranging the tableau might create additional space. Starting with a clear understanding of the board can prevent unnecessary moves.

<p dir="auto" data-start="2044" data-end="2321">Not every column has the same strategic value. Some contain cards that can be exposed quickly, while others may require several moves before they become useful. Identifying which columns are currently restricting your progress can help you decide where to focus your attention.

<p dir="auto" data-start="2363" data-end="2659">The tableau changes constantly as cards are moved. A move that initially seems unrelated to another part of the board may suddenly make a new sequence possible. Developing the habit of scanning the tableau after important moves can help you discover opportunities that were not available earlier.
