About Klondike Solitaire

Klondike Solitaire is the classic patience card game, free in your browser. Build the four foundations from ace to king, one per suit, by moving cards between seven tableau columns: stack them downwards in alternating colours, turn over the hidden cards, and fill empty columns with kings. Draw one card at a time for the relaxed classic, or three for a real challenge. Every deal can be set to be winnable, there's unlimited undo and a hint button, and a fast win earns a time bonus on the leaderboard.

How to play

Drag a card (or a run of face-up cards) onto another column, or tap it to send it to the best place. Build down in alternating colours (red on black, black on red); only kings go into empty columns. Click the deck to draw. Move aces to the foundations and build each suit up to the king to win. Space draws, Z undoes, H shows a hint.

Tips for Klondike Solitaire

  • Turn over face-down cards as early as you can — each one opens up new moves and scores 5 points.
  • Move cards from the longest columns first: that's where most hidden cards are.
  • Only empty a column when you have a king ready to move into it.
  • Don't rush cards to the foundations if you still need them to hold a lower card of the other colour.
  • Stuck? Use Undo freely, or press H for a hint — there's no penalty for either.

Questions about Klondike Solitaire

What's the difference between Draw 1 and Draw 3?

Draw 1 turns one card from the deck at a time and is the relaxed classic. Draw 3 turns three, and you can only play the top one, which makes it much harder.

Can every game be won?

With "Deals: always winnable" on (the default), every deal has been checked and can be won. Switch it to random for the classic shuffle, where some deals can't be won.

How is the score counted?

5 points for each card moved from the deck to the tableau and each card turned over, 10 for each card on a foundation, a 500-point win bonus and a time bonus for a fast win. Recycling the deck in Draw 1 costs 100 points.
