Klondike Solitaire: what to know before playing
Make Klondike Solitaire your next activity in the game library. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Look at what changes after your first action.
One deck; draw-one or draw-three stock; waste recycling. Free solo play, no wagering.
One thing to notice as you play
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Make the next step deliberately.
Understand the aim
Build four suit foundations from ace to king. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Check the rules when you are unsure.
Start here and follow along
- 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.
- Use foundations where available; full Spider or Scorpion runs clear automatically.
- Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.
Using the playing area
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Look at the feedback after the action.
Follow the example
A red 6 fits a black 7, not another red 7. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Notice the change in the playing area.
Check this before moving on
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
