The essentials of playing Pyramid Solitaire
Use the rule sheet as a reference. Remove all 28 pyramid cards. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. Keep the active rule in mind. Only uncovered cards are selectable. Pairs total 13; a king removes alone. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
Pyramid, stock and waste; one stock recycle. Free solo play, no wagering.
Give this approach a try
