About this game

Play Solitaire free online: the classic Klondike patience card game. Build four piles from Ace to King, one for each suit, by moving cards between seven columns. Choose draw 1 for a relaxed game or draw 3 for the classic challenge, with unlimited undo, hints and auto finish.

Quick answer: Tap any face-up card and it jumps to the best place it can go, or drag it where you want. Build the seven columns downward in alternating colours (red on black, black on red), move Aces to the four piles at the top right, and build each pile up by suit to King. Tap the stock at the top left to turn over new cards. You win when all 52 cards are on the four piles.

How to play Solitaire

1. The deal. Seven columns are dealt with one to seven cards, and only the top card of each column face up. The rest of the deck is the stock.
2. Columns. Place a card on a card one rank higher of the opposite colour, for example a red 6 on a black 7. You can move a whole face-up run together.
3. Empty columns. Only a King, or a run that starts with a King, can go into an empty column.
4. Turning cards. When you move the last face-up card off a column, the card below turns over.
5. The stock. Tap the stock to draw one card (or three in draw 3). Only the top card of the waste pile can be played. When the stock runs out, tap the empty space to turn the waste pile over and go through it again.
6. The four piles. Move each Ace up to its own pile, then add cards of the same suit in order: 2, 3, 4 and so on up to King.

Solitaire tips

• Turn over face-down cards first. Moves that reveal a hidden card are usually the most valuable.
• Work on the tallest columns. They hide the most cards.
• Do not empty a column without a King to put there. An empty column is only useful for a King.
• Do not rush cards to the piles. Low cards are often needed in the columns to hold other cards, so keep them until you are sure.
• Stuck? Press Hint for a suggestion, or Undo to try another line.

Is this Solitaire free?

What does Auto finish do?
