The Klondike Solitaire playbook
Begin with the objective. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Before making a move, check the cards in view. Build down in alternating colours; kings fill empty columns. Valid ordered runs move together. Use another round to revisit a decision.
One deck; draw-one or draw-three stock; waste recycling. Free solo play, no wagering.
Build familiarity through play
A clear plan starts with the current position. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

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.
- Move exposed cards onto suit foundations in the stated rank order.
- Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.
Making selections and moves
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Look at the complete hand before deciding.
Try this example
A red 6 fits a black 7, not another red 7. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
Keep this in mind
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. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
