How to play Solitaire
Solitaire (Klondike) is a one-player card game. The goal is to move all 52 cards onto the four foundations at the top right, one for each suit, building each from Ace up to King.
- The tableau: the seven columns. Build down in alternating colours, a red 6 on a black 7, for example. A run of face-up cards can be moved together.
- Empty columns: only a King, or a run starting with a King, can be placed in an empty column.
- The stock and waste: turn cards over from the stock (top left). The top card of the waste can be played. When the stock runs out, the waste is turned back over.
- Moving cards: tap a card to lift it, then tap it again to send it to the best place, or drag it where you want it. Cards that cannot go there slide back.
- Draw 1 or Draw 3: Draw 1 is gentler. Draw 3 is the harder, traditional game.
- Stuck? Use Hint for a good move, or Undo as many times as you like.
