Solitaire is a timeless single-player card game where you sort cards from Ace to King by suit, offering fun, relaxation, and mental exercise anytime.

How to play Solitaire?

The main objective in Solitaire is to arrange the cards in sequence from Ace to King, all of the same suit, into the four empty slots at the top of the screen. Once a card has been moved, it cannot be returned to its original position, so you need to consider carefully before dragging and dropping cards.

Understanding the game layout

  • Tableau: These are the 7 main columns of cards, arranged in a mixed order with alternating red and black cards. You will drag and drop these cards to arrange them into the 4 empty rows above, following the rule of arranging them from Ace to King and all of the same suit.
  • Foundation: This is where you will complete the suits of cards.
  • Stock: You will flip over cards here to find matching cards, in case the 7 horizontal rows below cannot be used anymore.
  • Waste: You will place the drawn cards that are not yet needed in this area to continue the game and create opportunities to conquer the game.

Control Mechanism

  • Drag & Drop – Drag and drop the cards to move them.
  • Click – Click to flip cards or draw cards from the remaining deck.
  • Help Keys – Use Undo to undo moves and Hint to get suggestions for moves.

Effective Solitaire Playing Tips

  • Prioritize moves in the Tableau: Before using cards from the Waste pile, make as many moves as possible within the Tableau. This helps reveal face-down cards and creates more space, instead of placing cards into the Tableau too early and accidentally blocking subsequent moves.
  • Always aim to reveal face-down cards: Moves that free up face-down cards are always valuable. Each revealed card opens up more possibilities for arrangement and brings you closer to victory.
  • Focus on long columns: Long Tableau columns usually contain the most face-down cards. Prioritizing these columns will help you reveal many important cards and speed up the game.
  • Build the Foundation piles evenly: Avoid building one Foundation pile too quickly compared to the others. This can make arranging cards in the Tableau difficult. Although you can move cards from the Foundation back to the Tableau, this will cost extra moves.
  • Create card sequences using fixed suit pairs: When possible, build card sequences using the same pair of suits (e.g., ♦ Diamonds & ♠ Spades). This makes moving cards to the Foundation smoother and more consistent.
  • Anticipate gaps in card sequences: Only move cards from the Waste pile to the Tableau when it actually helps extend a card sequence. For example, if one column has K♠ – Q♥ and another column has 10♦ – 9♠, then moving J♣ from the Waste pile will create a complete sequence and provide a clear advantage.
