An introduction to playing Pyramid Solitaire
Keep the active rule in mind. 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. Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. 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.
One thing to notice as you play

An example to follow
An exposed queen pairs with an ace; a jack pairs with a 2. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
