Learn Klondike Solitaire step by step
Solitaire (also called Klondike Solitaire) is one of the most popular card games in the world. It's perfect for relaxing and keeping your mind sharp.
Move all 52 cards to the four foundation piles in the top right corner. Each foundation pile starts with an Ace and builds up to King, all in the same suit (hearts, diamonds, clubs, or spades).
The game starts with 7 columns of cards (called the tableau). The first column has 1 card, the second has 2, and so on up to 7. Only the top card of each column is face-up. The remaining cards form the stock pile in the top left.
You can move cards between tableau columns by placing them in descending order and alternating colors. For example, a red 7 can go on a black 8. Click a card to select it (it will highlight), then click the destination.
Click the stock pile to flip over cards to the waste pile. In Turn 1 mode, one card is flipped at a time. In Turn 3 mode, three cards are flipped at once, making the game more challenging.
Always move Aces to the foundation right away. Try to uncover face-down cards as quickly as possible. In Turn 1 mode, you can plan more carefully since you see each card one at a time.
No — not every deal is solvable. Studies suggest about 80% of Turn 1 deals are theoretically winnable if played perfectly.
In Turn 3 mode, you flip three cards from the stock pile at once. This makes the game harder since you can only play the top card of the three.
Yes! You can move any face-up sequence of alternating colors as a group onto another pile.
