Klondike Solitaire is the classic single-player card game that most people just call "Solitaire" — the same layout that shipped on Windows PCs for decades. A full 52-card deck is dealt into seven tableau columns, and the goal is to sort every card into four foundation piles, one per suit, built up in order from Ace to King.
Each round is a puzzle of sequencing: cards in the tableau stack in descending order with alternating colors, so a red 7 needs a black 8 underneath it, and so on. When you run out of visible moves, you flip cards from the stock pile, hunting for the one card that unlocks a stuck column. There's no timer pressure beyond your own patience — it's a slow, focused game built for working through one hand at a time.
Controls
Play with drag and drop: click and drag a card with the mouse on desktop, or drag it with your finger on a phone or tablet. Tap the stock pile to deal the next card when no tableau moves are left.
Tips
- Uncover cards in longer columns before digging through the stock pile — hidden cards under a full column are worth more than a fresh draw.
- Don't rush every Ace and 2 to the foundations right away; keeping a low card in the tableau sometimes gives you a spot to unload a card of the opposite color.
- An empty column is one of the most valuable things on the board — try to save it for a King rather than filling it with the first card you can move there.
- Work through the stock pile fully at least once before assuming a deal is unsolvable; a useful card is often near the bottom.
It's a good fit for a quiet few minutes between tasks — no sound needed, no reflexes required, just cards and a plan. It runs right in the browser with nothing to install.
