Card Pyramid Solitaire

Cards are arranged in a 6-row pyramid (21 cards total). Select two exposed cards whose estimated values add up within $5 of the target sum shown. Only cards in the bottom row, or cards with nothing blocking them below, are exposed and selectable. Remove all 21 cards to win.

A card is exposed when no other cards overlap it from the row below. The bottom row (row 6) is always fully exposed. As you remove pairs, cards in higher rows become exposed. Strategy matters — remove lower-row pairs to unlock better options above.

The target sum is set to approximately the median pair value of the 21 cards selected for your game. This ensures roughly half of all possible pairs are near the target. A pair matches when the two card values add up within $5 of the target sum.

You earn 100 points per card cleared (200 per matched pair). A speed bonus is added based on how quickly you finish — the faster you clear the pyramid, the higher your bonus. Final score determines your grade: S (full clear + fast), A, B, C, D, or F.
