Play Solitaire free in your browser
This is classic Klondike Solitaire: one deck, seven tableau columns and four foundation piles to fill from Ace to King. It runs in your browser on phones, tablets and computers, with no download, no sign-up and no account. Tap a card and it moves to the best legal place, or drag it where you want it. Undo has no limit, and the Hint button shows a legal move if you are stuck.
Use the buttons above the table to switch between Draw 1, where you turn over one card at a time, and Draw 3, the harder traditional rule. Your game is saved in your browser, so you can close the tab and continue later.
Why the deals here are different
A fully random shuffle sometimes produces a deal that cannot be won by anyone. Published solver research puts the share of winnable Klondike deals at roughly four in five to nine in ten, depending on the exact rules and on whether the player can see the face-down cards. So a noticeable fraction of random games are lost before the first move.
To avoid that, deals on this site come from a library that was built with a solver: a program searched each deal for a complete winning sequence, the sequence was replayed through the same rules engine that powers the game, and only the deals that ended in a win were kept. Each game then relabels the suits to give a fresh-looking layout from the same verified deal. A green badge above the table tells you when the current deal is verified. The winnable Solitaire page explains the method and its limits honestly.
How to win at Solitaire
- Move cards that reveal a face-down card whenever you can.
- Send Aces and 2s to the foundations as soon as they are free.
- Keep the four foundations roughly level, so you do not run out of places to put cards.
- Only empty a column when you have a King ready to go into it.
- Use the stock last, after every tableau move has been made.
The strategy guide explains the reasoning behind each tip, and the beginner's rules cover every legal move.

Frequently asked questions
Is this Solitaire game free?
Yes. The games are free to play, with no download, no sign-up and no account. They run in your web browser on phones, tablets and computers.
What is the difference between Draw 1 and Draw 3?
In Draw 1 you turn over one card from the stock at a time, so every card is playable in turn. In Draw 3 you turn over three but can only play the top one, which makes the game harder and rewards planning.
Can every deal be won?
Deals come from a library in which a solver found a complete winning line, and the line was replayed through the game rules. So each of those deals can be won. A badge above the table tells you whether the current deal is verified, and the game says so if it has to fall back to a random shuffle.
Can I undo a move?
Yes, undo is unlimited. Use the Undo button, press U, or press Ctrl+Z.
Is my game saved?
Yes, in your own browser, so you can close the tab and carry on later. Clearing your browser data removes it.
