Klondike Solitaire: instructions and practice
Before making a move, check the cards in view. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Check the relevant controls before continuing. For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Build down in alternating colours; kings fill empty columns. Valid ordered runs move together. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
One deck; draw-one or draw-three stock; waste recycling. Free solo play, no wagering.
Something to practise
Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
The objective of a round
Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Use another round to revisit a decision. Begin with the objective.
From the start of a round
- 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.
- Move exposed cards onto suit foundations in the stated rank order.
- Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.
Getting comfortable with the controls
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Check the relevant controls before continuing. Keep the active rule in mind.
Follow the example
A red 6 fits a black 7, not another red 7. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
Keep this in mind
Take a moment to read the table. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
