A rejected move to the empty column

Same game, after 99 actions. Column 1 is empty. In column 3, the 2♥ (highlighted) sits on 1 face-down card: moving it would reveal one.

Stock: 7 cards; waste, top: queen of clubs. Foundations, cards placed: 3 spades, 2 hearts, 5 diamonds, 6 clubs, 2 spades, 0 hearts, 0 diamonds, 0 clubs. Column 1: empty; column 2: 0 face-down, then 9 of clubs, 8 of diamonds, 7 of clubs, 6 of diamonds, 5 of spades, 4 of diamonds; column 3: 1 face-down, then 2 of hearts; column 4: 0 face-down, then 7 of hearts, 6 of spades; column 5: 2 face-down, then 8 of spades; column 6: 2 face-down, then king of spades, queen of diamonds, jack of clubs, 10 of hearts, 9 of clubs, 8 of hearts, 7 of clubs, 6 of hearts; column 7: 2 face-down, then king of hearts, queen of spades; column 8: 6 face-down, then jack of spades, 10 of diamonds, 9 of spades, 8 of hearts, 7 of spades; column 9: 8 face-down, then king of diamonds, queen of clubs, jack of diamonds, 10 of clubs, 9 of hearts, 8 of spades, 7 of diamonds, 6 of spades.

After 99 actions: the 2♥ in column 3, and the empty column 1 (dotted outline).

Yet the app refuses to place the 2♥ on column 1: an empty column only accepts a king. That is the rule explained in the rules.

The second ace of a suit

Same game, action 93. The first ace of spades has already gone up: its foundation holds 3 spade cards. The second A♠ cannot be placed on it; it takes the second slot in the spades row, which was empty until then. From that point, two spade sequences build up side by side.

Stock: 9 cards; waste, top: 2 of spades. Foundations, cards placed: 3 spades, 0 hearts, 5 diamonds, 6 clubs, 1 spade, 0 hearts, 0 diamonds, 0 clubs. Column 1: 0 face-down, then 2 of hearts; column 2: 0 face-down, then 9 of clubs, 8 of diamonds, 7 of clubs, 6 of diamonds, 5 of spades, 4 of diamonds; column 3: 1 face-down, then 2 of hearts; column 4: 0 face-down, then 7 of hearts; column 5: 2 face-down, then 8 of spades; column 6: 2 face-down, then king of spades, queen of diamonds, jack of clubs, 10 of hearts, 9 of clubs, 8 of hearts, 7 of clubs, 6 of hearts; column 7: 2 face-down, then king of hearts, queen of spades; column 8: 6 face-down, then jack of spades, 10 of diamonds, 9 of spades, 8 of hearts, 7 of spades; column 9: 8 face-down, then king of diamonds, queen of clubs, jack of diamonds, 10 of clubs, 9 of hearts, 8 of spades, 7 of diamonds, 6 of spades.

After action 93: both spade foundations have been started (first row of foundations in this diagram: one slot per suit; second row: the second slot).
