How the Game Board Is Laid Out
Sneaky Solitaire renders a full Klondike game inside a spreadsheet grid. The cell coordinates use standard spreadsheet notation — rows are numbered, columns are lettered — so a quick glance reads like any other data sheet. Not familiar with standard Klondike? Read the official Klondike solitaire rules first.
