Hello Phil and all. Below is a message which I saved from a while back
which was written by the Cards Alone developer and he explains both the
games which come with this app.
I hope this answers your question.

> When you begin a new game and start going through the main stack,
first you need to find a Seven to be placed on one of the "intermediate
piles" and a Six to be placed in the middle pile. Intermediate piles are
those on the corners which VoiceOver marks as "North-East",
"South-East", "South-West" and "North-West" piles.
> When you have placed one Seven you can place an Eight on the top of
the seven and so on up to the King. In this game the cards do not need
to be same suit. Again after you have placed a Six in the middle you can
place a Five on top of that and so on until you reach an Ace. After that
you place another Six and start building down again. You have to do this
four times and the last Ace must be the Ace of Clubs.
>
> The function of the "North", "East", "South" and "West" piles are to
store one card at a time. For example when you start and the first card
in the Main stack is an Eight, it's maybe a good idea to place that in
one of those piles. By doing that you can easily move it to an
intermediate pile if you get a Seven quite soon.
>
> In this game you are allowed to move cards back to the waste pile,
which may help in some cases.
>
> Hexagon:
> Hexagon has six equal piles which VoiceOver marks as "Twelve", "Two",
"Four", "Six", "Eight" and "Ten" piles according to their position. The
idea is to start building the piles down so that at the end each suit
will form one pile. For example if the first card you get is Seven of
Hearts you can place that in one of the piles. If you get Six of Hearts
you can place that on top of the Seven you placed earlier. Later if you
get Eight of Hearts and you have one free pile you can place the Eight
there and move the pile which has that Seven at the bottom, on top of
that Eight. When you have gone through the main stack, you can move the
waste pile to be the new main stack. You are allowed to go through the
main stack three times.

> Hope that this will give you some tips and yes in Napoleon's Grave
you are allowed to go through the main stack and waste pile just once :).

Hi Raul,
I tried to google how to play Hexagon with no luck.
Would you describe how it differs from the typical solitaire game?
Or is there a more detailed explanation on a web site than in the game
help?
Thanks,
Phil
