Please describe the problem in detail:
Pair of black 6s in the same column, trying to put a red 5 on the top one but it jumps into the spare spaces above and the red 5 will only sit on the black 6 underneath. On my computer this feature is too sensitive and when I move a card down from above, the game senses moves that I would not necessarily want. Sometimes several cards leg it all over the place and I didn't want that to happen.

Hello and thanks for your feedback!

You can move the card away, if you hadn't yet let go, and all the cards will come right back, or you can press undo key or button if you had let go.

Watch the black border highlight. If it's exactly covering the top 6 then, after a second, the game will move the top 6 out of the way to put the 5 the bottom 6. If instead of letting go, you move away, the 6 will come right back (i.e. as long as you don't let go, you can play around with where the 5 might go). If the black border highlight is shifted down from the top 6 then it will put it on the top six. If you play around, hovering the 5 in different places, you can see the highlight move and notice that in fact 80% of the overlap will chooses the top 5 and only 20% that selects the lower 5.

I ask you to try again with this in mind, on say today's game of the day. As your first move after clicking that link, try grabbing the 9 of spades and try hovering over each of the two red 10s which are, as in your case, on top of each other. Then move away and hover over nothing, all without letting go.

I know this is different than other solitaire sites, but give it a a bit of time and I you might find our play style quite efficient and therefore more fun!
