Read before your next round of Golf Solitaire

Open Golf Solitaire, check the instructions and begin a round. Remove all 35 tableau cards. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Use the example below to understand a decision.

Seven columns of five, one stock pass. Free solo play, no wagering.

A small practice goal

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Notice the feedback after each input.

The goal to keep in mind

Remove all 35 tableau cards. Read that aim before choosing your first action. The example below illustrates a decision.

Work through the instructions

  1. Take an exposed bottom card one rank above or below the waste top, allowing ace–king wrapping.
  2. Click an exposed card or eligible pair to remove it.
  3. Draw when useful.
  4. Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.

Input guidance

Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Read the example below alongside these instructions.

An example to follow

Waste queen accepts jack or king. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Read the matching step again.

Check this before moving on

Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
