Know the goal in Klondike Solitaire

For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Check the relevant controls before continuing. Work at your own pace. 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.

Bring this focus to a round

Use the rule sheet as a reference. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

What you need to achieve

Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. A clear plan starts with the current position.

Making your moves

  1. Build down in alternating colours; kings fill empty columns. Valid ordered runs move together.
  2. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
  3. Move exposed cards onto suit foundations in the stated rank order.
  4. Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.

How your actions work

Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. Keep the active rule in mind.

Learn from a sample situation

A red 6 fits a black 7, not another red 7. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.

A useful caution

Before making a move, check the cards in view. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
