How to play
Finish Moving Left when all cards reach the foundations after every leftward vacancy shift has been resolved. Completion is checked from the entire position, not from a displayed answer or a visual approximation.
- Read the opening of Moving Left by locating every lane, clue, reserve, room, or fixed element named in its rule. Clearing a lane shifts the entire face-up packet from its immediate right neighbour into the vacancy, so empty columns move through the layout rather than accepting arbitrary fills. The seeded deal and rules version reproduce that public starting information without exposing a hidden completion.
- Check each proposed action against the current position and this boundary: Clearing a lane shifts the entire face-up packet from its immediate right neighbour into the vacancy, so empty columns move through the layout rather than accepting arbitrary fills. Illegal, stale, and post-finish actions are rejected without changing the board.

Strategy tips
- Before clearing a lane, inspect the complete face-up packet to its right and confirm that shifting that packet left improves access rather than moving the blockage sideways.
- Using an empty lane as ordinary free space ignores the automatic left shift; the neighbouring packet moves as a unit and can cover a card you meant to expose.
- During the final few decisions, compare every unresolved obligation with the target: all cards reach the foundations after every leftward vacancy shift has been resolved. Keep the option described in the strategy note available until the last forced dependency is settled.
