Play Klondike Solitaire with the rules at hand
Look at the complete hand before deciding. 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. Use the rule sheet as a reference. Build down in alternating colours; kings fill empty columns. Valid ordered runs move together. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
One deck; draw-one or draw-three stock; waste recycling. Free solo play, no wagering.
Build familiarity through play
Look at the complete hand before deciding. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
The objective of a round
Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Use another round to revisit a decision. Take a moment to read the table.
Step by step
- 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.
Controls
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Check the relevant controls before continuing. Treat this as a chance to practise one rule.
Try this example
A red 6 fits a black 7, not another red 7. Use another round to revisit a decision.
An important reminder
For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
