Try Klondike Solitaire at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Use the example below to understand a decision. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Look at what changes after your first action.
One deck; draw-one or draw-three stock; waste recycling. Free solo play, no wagering.
Try a more deliberate round
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Use the example to check your reasoning.
The goal to keep in mind
Build four suit foundations from ace to king. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Keep the controls in easy reach.
How a round unfolds
- 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.
- Use foundations where available; full Spider or Scorpion runs clear automatically.
- Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.
Choosing and moving on screen
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
See the idea in action
A red 6 fits a black 7, not another red 7. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Choose a deliberate next step.
Watch out for this
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
