A rejected group move
The same deal, after 12 moves. The top two cards of column 7, the D♥ and the V♥ (highlighted), form a same-suit sequence. With the D♥ as the leading card, they would fit on the R♥ in column 1. But the app moves only one card at a time: you first need to find a place for the V♥.
