Find your footing in Klondike Solitaire
Work at your own pace. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Use another round to revisit a decision. Keep the active rule in mind. Build down in alternating colours; kings fill empty columns. Valid ordered runs move together. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
One deck; draw-one or draw-three stock; waste recycling. Free solo play, no wagering.
Build familiarity through play
Begin with the objective. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Use another round to revisit a decision.
What counts as success
Build four suit foundations from ace to king. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. Treat this as a chance to practise one rule.
The steps to play
- 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.
- Move exposed cards onto suit foundations in the stated rank order.
- Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.

Try this example
A red 6 fits a black 7, not another red 7. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
An important reminder
For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Use another round to revisit a decision.
