Monte Carlo clears a grid by matching equal ranks that sit next to each other. After removals, cards cascade together — so the “obvious” first pair is not always the strongest. SolitaireHot’s Hint can show a legal match when the board looks stuck.
Scan the whole grid
Before matching, imagine how the board slides after a removal. An isolated pair might become powerful if clearing it pulls another twin beside its partner.
Greedy pairs vs future adjacency
Taking every adjacent match immediately can split better future pairs. Pause when two options exist and pick the one that improves the densest region of the grid.
Monte Carlo habits
- Prefer matches that free crowded rows or columns.
- Use Undo to compare two first moves on daily seeds.
- When no pair remains, check whether a cascade already created one.
- Switch to Pyramid if you prefer sum-to-13 pairing instead.
