How to play

The winning condition for Ladies Battle is precise: the Queen-led wrapping foundations are complete and all four Jack reserves are cleared. No hidden solution values are printed to justify the result; the rules engine validates the submitted position.

  • Before the first move in Ladies Battle, identify which marks are givens and which controls are decisions. Foundations wrap downward from Queen through Jack, while four Jack reserves and a wrapping alternate-colour tableau gate access to the lower ranks. The browser stores that distinction with the seeded opening so a restart never changes the puzzle or deal.
  • Use the live board controls to change one legal decision at a time. Foundations wrap downward from Queen through Jack, while four Jack reserves and a wrapping alternate-colour tableau gate access to the lower ranks. The runtime validates the resulting state before it records a move or opens a new undo branch.
  • The winning condition for Ladies Battle is precise: the Queen-led wrapping foundations are complete and all four Jack reserves are cleared. No hidden solution values are printed to justify the result; the rules engine validates the submitted position.

Strategy tips

  • Use the Jack reserves as timed gateways, preserving alternating-colour tableau sequences that release the next lower card for each Queen-led wrapping foundation.
  • Treating the Queen foundations as ordinary upward builds reverses the useful rank order and can strand the Jack that should start the wrapping descent.
  • Use undo to compare the last branch if two completions look plausible, then recheck the exact requirement: the Queen-led wrapping foundations are complete and all four Jack reserves are cleared. A locally attractive move can still break a distant constraint.
