onlinegamesbrowser.comHow to play
This is Klondike, the version most people simply call solitaire. The goal is to move all 52 cards onto four foundations, one per suit, building each suit upward with the ace first and the king last. The seven columns below are where you sort the cards out.
- In the columns, stack cards downward in alternating colors: a black 8 goes on a red 9, a red 8 on a black 9.
- You can move a face-up card together with every card on top of it. Clear the cards off a face-down card and it flips over.
- An empty column accepts a king, or a sequence headed by a king, and nothing else.
- Out of moves? The stock in the top left deals cards onto the waste pile, and whatever card sits on top of the waste can be played onto the table or a foundation.
- An empty stock refills from the waste with another tap, as many times as you need.
Controls
- Touch: drag cards by hand, or tap one and the game plays it to the best spot it can find, foundations before columns.
- Mouse: drag and drop, or click a card to play it automatically. A double click counts as one move.
- Keyboard: a blue ring marks the selected card, and the arrow keys steer it. Enter plays that card to the best spot, Space lifts cards and drops them where the ring is, U is undo and H is a hint. D turns the stock.
- Draw: 1 card or 3 cards. Winnable deals only deals games that can be finished.
Tips
- Uncovering hidden cards matters most, so work on the column with the biggest face-down stack.
- Empty a column only when there is a king ready to move into it.
- If a card could go to either of two columns, choose the one that frees a hidden card.
- Look for moves on the table before you turn the stock.
- Safe cards move up to the foundations automatically, and when nothing is left face down, the game plays out the ending for you.
FAQ
Which is easier, draw 1 or draw 3?
Draw 1, by a distance. With single cards you see the whole stock on every pass. Drawing three at a time lets you play only the top card of each group, so the cards beneath can stay buried.
Can every game be won?
No. Some deals are impossible from the start, and draw 3 produces more of them. While Winnable deals is ticked, as it is when you first open the game, every new game is one the built-in solver has already beaten with your draw setting, though a wrong move can still lose it. Untick it for fully random deals.
Is there a limit on undo?
No. Undo as many moves as you like, and go through the stock as many times as you like.
Can I play solitaire at school?
Solitaire needs no install and no account, so it opens in any up-to-date browser, Chromebooks included. A school filter can still block the site, and if it does, only the school's IT team can allow it.
