How to play solitaire
- Choose Draw 1 or Draw 3 and start a new game.
- Build the columns down in alternating colours, and move Aces up to the foundations, building each suit from Ace to King.
- Click a card and then where to put it, or double-click to send it to a foundation. Use the stock when you run out of moves.
About this game
Goal: move every card to the four foundation piles, built up by suit from Ace to King. Tableau columns build downward in alternating colours (e.g. a red 7 on a black 8); only a King (or a valid sequence starting with one) can fill an empty column. Click a face-up card to select it — it also picks up every card stacked on it — then click a destination pile; an illegal move is rejected with a short message rather than silently doing nothing. Double-click (or double-tap) a card to send it straight to a foundation if that's legal.
The stock pile deals to the waste one card at a time in Draw 1 mode, or three at a time in Draw 3 mode (only the top card of a 3-draw is playable, as in the standard rules); clicking the empty stock recycles the waste back into it with no redeal limit. Undo steps back through the full move history, and Auto-finish repeatedly sends any card that can legally move to a foundation — handy once the whole tableau is face-up and the rest of the game is a foregone conclusion.
Everything is playable with a mouse, touch, or keyboard (tab to a card, Enter/Space to select or play it), and your current game and win count are saved on this device so you can close the tab and pick up where you left off. Nothing is ever uploaded anywhere.
Questions about solitaire
What is the difference between Draw 1 and Draw 3?
Draw 1 turns over one card at a time from the stock and is easier. Draw 3 turns three, and only the top one can be played.
What can go in an empty column?
Only a King, or a sequence starting with a King.
Is every game winnable?
No. Some Klondike deals can’t be solved; use Undo to try different moves, or start a new game.
What does Auto-finish do?
When every card is face up and the rest is certain, it moves all the remaining cards to the foundations for you.
