How to play Solitaire
This Solitaire game follows Turn 1 Klondike rules. Build descending runs of alternating colors in the seven tableau columns, uncover face-down cards and move each suit to a foundation from ace to king. The stock reveals one card at a time.
The rules
- Move exposed cards or legal face-up runs onto a card one rank higher and of the opposite color. Only a king or a run starting with a king can enter an empty column.
- Draw from the stock when you need more options, and move available aces to the foundations.
- Build each foundation upward in its own suit until all 52 cards have been moved to the four foundations.
Controls
Tap the stock to draw one card, or recycle the waste when the stock is empty. Select a face-up tableau card, a face-up stack, or the top waste card, then tap a destination column or foundation. To foundation moves a selected single card to its suit if legal. Undo reverses the last action, including automatic flips. You may also move a foundation’s top card back to the tableau.
How scoring works
Your result is the number of cards currently in the four foundations, up to 52. Finish round records your current total; moving a card back from a foundation reduces it again. Undo restores the previous move count. Practice and Standard results are recorded separately.
Tips for your next round
- Give priority to moves that uncover a face-down card. More visible cards usually mean more useful choices.
- Before emptying a tableau column, check that you have a king or a king-led run ready to use the space.
- Your unfinished round is saved in this browser. Return to the same game, mode, and difficulty to continue. A daily challenge uses the UTC date; clearing browser data removes saved rounds.
Is every deal guaranteed to be winnable?
Practice deals are constructed to be solvable. Standard deals are randomly shuffled and may not be winnable. Undo lets you explore another sequence of moves.
What does Turn 1 mean?
Each draw reveals one stock card at a time. This gives you direct access to that card before you choose whether to draw again.
