What is Solitaire?

Play the classic Klondike Solitaire card game for free. Deal cards, build foundation piles from Ace to King by suit, and move cards between tableau columns in alternating colors. Includes a hint button, win streak tracking, lifetime stats with best-time records, undo, auto-complete detection, move counter, and timer.

Choose between Draw 1 (easier — every card from the stock is available) and Draw 3 (the traditional Vegas-style rule where you cycle three at a time). The game tracks your games played, win percentage, and best completion time per draw mode, and shows a streak counter once you win two in a row. When you are stuck, the hint button flashes one legal move so you can keep going. There is also a daily challenge, a seeded deal that is identical for everyone each day, plus an optional tap-to-move mode that sends a card to its best spot in one click and a Vegas scoring mode with a running bankroll. Keyboard shortcuts work too: U to undo, H for a hint, N for a new game.

How to use

1. Click the stock pile (top-left) to draw cards. Drag cards between tableau columns — place in descending order, alternating red and black.
2. Build foundation piles (top-right) by moving Aces up, then stacking same-suit cards in ascending order (A, 2, 3...K).
3. Win by moving all 52 cards to the four foundation piles. If you get stuck, click the hint button (or press H) for a suggested move, use undo to rewind, or start a new game.

When to use

• Killing fifteen minutes between meetings without installing anything.
• Re-learning the rules before playing a physical deck with family.
• Practising odds judgement — when to release a hidden card vs. wait for a better column move.

Result

You draw a 7 of hearts from the stock. Place it on the 8 of spades in the tableau. Then move the 6 of clubs onto the 7 of hearts. Uncover a hidden card underneath — it's an Ace of diamonds, which goes straight to the foundation.

FAQ

What's the difference between Draw 1 and Draw 3?

Draw 1 turns one card over at a time from the stock, so every card is reachable. Draw 3 flips three cards but you can only play the top of the trio. Draw 3 is harder and is closer to the original 19th-century rules that became the Windows default.

Is every game I'm dealt actually winnable?

No. Roughly 79–82% of random Klondike Draw 1 deals are theoretically solvable, dropping to about 35% for Draw 3. So losing a hand isn't always your fault — sometimes the shuffle simply boxed you in.

When does the auto-complete option appear?

Auto-complete becomes available once every card is face-up and no further blocking moves are possible — only the routine task of stacking remaining cards onto the foundations is left. The game runs that loop for you so you don't have to click each card.

Does undo cost anything, like in casino scoring?

Not in the default game — undo is unlimited and free, so you can rewind, try a different line, and see how the same deal plays out. If you want the casino feel, switch on Vegas scoring: each deal starts at -52 and pays +5 per card sent to a foundation, so pulling a card back off a foundation there does cost you points.

How do I send a card straight to the foundation without dragging?

Double-click a card and the engine looks for a legal foundation move (matching suit, one rank higher) and plays it. If no foundation accepts the card, double-click is ignored and you can drag normally.
