What is Solitaire?

Solitaire (also known as Klondike Solitaire or Patience) is the world's most popular single-player card game. The goal is to move all 52 cards from the tableau to the four foundation piles, building each suit from Ace to King. Our free online version brings this timeless classic to your browser with no download required.

How to Play Solitaire

Start by drawing cards from the stock pile and building sequences on the tableau. Cards must be placed in descending order with alternating colors (red on black, black on red). Only Kings can be placed on empty tableau columns. Move Aces to the foundation piles immediately, then build each suit upward (Ace, 2, 3... through King) to win the game.

Tips for Winning at Solitaire

• Focus on revealing face-down cards: Surfacing as many cards as possible increases your options for making moves and allows you to plan ahead
• Check the stock pile first: Turn over the first card from the stock before making any moves - it may create sequences that help reveal other cards
• Survey the tableau: Before making a move, check the entire tableau in conjunction with your waste pile to assess all possible moves
• Play Aces and 2s immediately: Start your foundation piles as soon as possible by moving Aces and 2s right away
• Target larger columns first: Focus on revealing cards in the larger tableau columns, as they contain more face-down cards that may be crucial to solving the game
• Keep cards in the tableau when useful: Don't rush to move cards to foundations - you might need them to build sequences and reveal face-down cards first
• Move foundation cards back if needed: You can replay cards from foundation piles back to the tableau to open more options for play
• Clear columns for Kings: Empty tableau columns can only hold Kings, so prioritize clearing columns to create spaces for Kings when they become available
• Use hints and undo: Take advantage of our smart hint system to identify optimal moves and the unlimited undo feature to try different strategies
