How to play Pyramid Solitaire
Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. Remove all 28 pyramid cards. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Use another round to revisit a decision. Before making a move, check the cards in view. Only uncovered cards are selectable. Pairs total 13; a king removes alone. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
Pyramid, stock and waste; one stock recycle. Free solo play, no wagering.

Work through an example
An exposed queen pairs with an ace; a jack pairs with a 2. Use another round to revisit a decision.
