A face-up group that is not in order
The same deal, at the start. In column 2, the 2♠ could go on the 3♥ in column 6: opposite color, exactly one rank lower. But the 10♣ is on top of it and does not continue the sequence.
Face-down stock: 24 cards; waste empty. Foundations, cards placed: 0 spades, 0 hearts, 0 diamonds, 0 clubs. Column 1: 6 of clubs; column 2: 2 of spades, 10 of clubs; column 3: 3 of diamonds, jack of hearts, 10 of hearts; column 4: 3 of spades, 5 of spades, king of clubs, ace of hearts; column 5: queen of hearts, 3 of clubs, 4 of hearts, 7 of spades, queen of spades; column 6: 4 of spades, 2 of diamonds, ace of spades, 7 of diamonds, 7 of hearts, 3 of hearts; column 7: 10 of spades, 2 of clubs, 5 of diamonds, king of diamonds, 8 of hearts, 7 of clubs, 9 of spades.
The app refuses to move the group: only cards arranged in descending rank and alternating colors can move together. The 2♠ must wait until the 10♣ has found another place.
A rejected move to the empty column
The same game, after 11 actions. Column 2 is empty. In column 3, the 10♥ heads a correctly ordered group of 4 cards (highlighted).
Face-down stock: 21 cards; top of the waste: 8 of spades. Foundations, cards placed: 0 spades, 1 hearts, 0 diamonds, 1 clubs. Column 1: 6 of clubs; column 2: empty; column 3: 3 of diamonds, jack of hearts, 10 of hearts, 9 of spades, 8 of hearts, 7 of clubs; column 4: 3 of spades, 5 of spades, king of clubs; column 5: queen of hearts, 3 of clubs, 4 of hearts, 7 of spades; column 6: 4 of spades, 2 of diamonds, ace of spades, 7 of diamonds, 7 of hearts, 3 of hearts, 2 of spades; column 7: 10 of spades, 2 of clubs, 5 of diamonds, king of diamonds, queen of spades, jack of diamonds, 10 of clubs.
Yet the app refuses to place it in column 2: an empty column accepts only a king. This rule is explained in the rules.
