How to play, in one minute

Get all 52 cards onto the four foundations at the top, one pile per suit, from ace up to king. To dig them out, build the seven columns down in alternating colors: a red 6 on a black 7, a black 5 on that.

The complete rules, scoring table and variations are in our Klondike rules, and our Klondike strategy tips show which moves to make first.

Turn one or turn three?

Turn one is easier: every card in the stock comes up on every pass. Turn three only lets you play every third card until you use the ones on top. To see how big the gap is, we ran our solver, which knows where every card is, on the same 1,000 random deals both ways. It won 774 of them turning one and 736 turning three. A simple player who only sees what you see and follows our hint order won 435 and 150.

Our own test, October 2026. "Won" means the solver found a win within its search limit. It gave up on 207 turn-one deals and 181 turn-three deals, so the true share is at least this, and may be higher.

Questions

Is this solitaire free?

Yes. No account, no download and no limit on games. If ads ever show up to pay for the site, they'll stay off the table.

Can every game be won?

With "Winnable deals only" on, which is the default, yes. Each deal comes from a set our solver has won with every card known: 774 deals for turn one and 736 for turn three. You can't see the face-down cards, so you can still go wrong. Undo is there for that. Switch the setting off for fully random deals, some of which can't be won at all.

Is this the same as Klondike?

Yes. Klondike is the name of the game most people call solitaire: seven columns, four foundations and a stock in the corner. We also have FreeCell, Spider, TriPeaks and Pyramid.

How does scoring work?

It's standard scoring, from Wikipedia's Klondike article: 10 points for each card you put on a foundation, 5 for each card from the waste pile to a column, 5 for each face-down card you turn over, minus 15 for bringing a card back down from a foundation, and minus 100 each time you turn the waste back over in turn-one games. The score never drops below zero. Turn scoring off in Settings if you'd rather not see it.

Why did a card jump to the foundation by itself?

With "Send safe cards to the foundations by themselves" on, aces and twos go up on their own, and so does any card nothing left in play could need. A red 6 is safe once both black 5s are up, because a black 5 is the only card that could go on it. Switch it off in Settings to move every card yourself.

What is today's deal?

Tap Today's deal to play the deal of the day. It's the same for everyone with the same turn setting, and it's always one our solver has won. Win it to start or keep a streak going. Your stats and streak stay in this browser.

Are the cards big enough on a phone?

The table fills the width of your screen, and the corner of every card shows its rank and suit in large print, even in a long column. Long columns squeeze together to fit, but never so far that the corner is hidden.
