So what do you do? Do you try to uncover cards in the largest stacks, or do you try to uncover the smaller stacks so you'll have an empty space for the kings? Uncovering the largest stacks always seemed pretty obvious to me, but then I found out that not everyone does this.

I haven't played solitaire in so long I can't remember!

Computer solitaire gave it a bold new life for me.

Are we talking Spider? Klondike? What type of solitaire?

I don't know. Plain ol' solitaire. The one 33-year-old Lawrence Harvey played in The Manchurian Candidate when his 36-year-old mother Angela Landsbury said, "Why don't you pass the time by playing a little solitaire." But I guess the principle would be the same with Spider Solitaire.

Klondike is what people generally think of as 'plain ole solitaire' (7 columns, building from 1 card to 7 cards and 4 foundations, building from Ace to King).

I did not know that.
I started out trying to uncover the larger stacks. Then someone told me they try to clear space for the kings first. Then I started doing that and I didn't think it worked well. But I've found that I do the same thing every time. I have a system, so I play solitaire, I almost win, so I play the same game again and the exact same thing happens because I do the same thing every time. So then I have to force myself to mix it up.
