Game seems to go on for ever! For 117 I just played the same as everyone else and plodded on and on. No switches. Nothing fancy. Just 8, 3, K and J first and K second, all as previously given.

In general terms, my usual way to lessen my score is by fiddling around with the order of my last 8 or so cards and not 'tidying up' too much i.e. ideally you want to finish with cards still in all 7 columns. If you only have 4 neat columns descending from each King, you've moved more cards than you needed.

K second and K tired.

Hi everyone.  Thanks for clues Fred and Margaret.  Awkward game.  I played K first and J first.

Ruby65 rules -- until the Wizards arrive. Maybe one will bring another clue. Thanks, Fred, Margaret.

Can't help anymore than two clues already given.  I just followed along with whatever came up. Thanks, Fred and Margaret!

3 1st as well.

Thanks, Fred.   I never would have figured that out.

8 first
