Klondike Solitaire is the classic single-player card game. Build each suit up from Ace to King on the foundations, using seven tableau columns that stack down in alternating colours. Play Draw 1 for a relaxed game or Draw 3 for a real challenge. With “winnable deals” on, every deal has been checked by a solver and can be won. Drag or tap cards, undo freely, ask for a hint, and finish automatically once every card is showing.

Rules
- Tableau columns build down in alternating colours (red on black, black on red).
- You can move a whole run of correctly stacked cards together.
- Only a King — or a run starting with a King — can fill an empty column.
- Turn cards from the stock one (Draw 1) or three (Draw 3) at a time; the waste can be turned over again as often as you like.
- Hidden cards flip over automatically when uncovered.
Tips and strategy
- Uncover face-down cards first — they hold the cards you need.
- Do not rush to empty a column unless you have a King ready for it.
- Keep foundations even: moving a low card up early can leave nowhere to park its neighbours.
