How to play Klondike Solitaire

Try Klondike Solitaire at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Look at what changes after your first action.

One deck; draw-one or draw-three stock; waste recycling. Free solo play, no wagering.

Keep the aim in sight

Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Notice the feedback after each input.

Your goal

Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

Step by step

  1. Build down in alternating colours; kings fill empty columns. Valid ordered runs move together.
  2. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
  3. Use foundations where available; full Spider or Scorpion runs clear automatically.
  4. Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.

Controls

Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Look at the feedback after the action.

A useful example

A red 6 fits a black 7, not another red 7. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Check the stated objective.

Watch out for this

Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Compare the situation with the worked example. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
