Learn your way around Klondike Solitaire
Choose a round of Klondike Solitaire and settle into its rules. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
One deck; draw-one or draw-three stock; waste recycling. Free solo play, no wagering.
Build familiarity through play
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your objective
Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. The example below illustrates a decision.
From the start of a round
- Build down in alternating colours; kings fill empty columns. Valid ordered runs move together.
- Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
- Use foundations where available; full Spider or Scorpion runs clear automatically.
- Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.
How your actions work
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
Put the rules into context
A red 6 fits a black 7, not another red 7. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Read the matching step again.
Keep this in mind
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
