How to Play Klondike Solitaire

The goal

Move all 52 cards onto the four foundations, one per suit, building up from Ace to King. Clear every card and you win.

The tableau

Seven columns hold the dealt cards. Build them down in alternating colors: a red Six on a black Seven, a black Five on that red Six. Groups of cards in sequence move together, and only a King can fill an empty column.

The stock

Cards left over after the deal form the stock. Click it to turn cards onto the waste pile: choose Draw 1 for a relaxed game or Draw 3 for the classic challenge. When the stock runs out, click again to redeal the waste.

Turning cards

Whenever you move the last face-up card off a column, the card beneath is flipped. Uncovering the hidden cards is the heart of the game. A hint is one tap away when you're stuck.

What is Solitaire?

Solitaire, also called patience, is a family of card games usually played by one person. Klondike is the version with seven tableau columns and four foundations built from Ace to King. Spider, FreeCell and Russian Solitaire use different layouts and move rules.

A legal move does not always lead to a win, and some starting deals have no solution. Our solitaire win-rates guide explains the research and its limits. For the background of patience games, browse the history of solitaire.

This site offers ten card solitaire variants, Mahjong Solitaire, Sudoku, and two games against computer opponents: Hearts and Spades. Mahjong Solitaire is a tile-matching game; Sudoku is a number-placement puzzle; Hearts and Spades are trick-taking card games.
