Klondike Solitaire

Klondike is played with one 52-card deck. Seven columns are dealt from left to right with one to seven cards; the top card of each column is face up. The other 24 cards form the stock.

The goal is to move every card to the four foundations, one per suit, from Ace up to King.

In this version you turn one card at a time from the stock to the waste.

• Build columns down in alternating colors: a red 6 goes on a black 7, a black Jack on a red Queen.
• You can move a face-up run together, as long as it is in order and alternates colors.
• Only a King, or a run that starts with a King, can go into an empty column.
• When a face-down card is uncovered, it turns face up on its own.
• Foundations build up by suit. You can move the top foundation card back to a column if you need it there.
• When the stock is empty, tap it to turn the waste back over. You can go through the stock as many times as you like.

Drag a card or a run to where it should go, or tap it: a tap sends it to where it fits, the foundation first. Tap the stock to turn a card.

Undo takes back as many moves as you like. Hint shows a move from a line that still wins, when our solver finds one in time. When every card is face up, Finish plays the rest for you.

Your game is saved in this browser as you play, so you can close the tab and continue later.

Draw 1 is the gentler version of Klondike: you see every card in the stock on each pass, so most deals come down to the order of your moves.

• Turn face-down cards first. A move that uncovers a card is usually worth more than one that only tidies a column.
• Work on the columns with the most face-down cards early.
• Only a King can start a new column, so clear a column when you have a King waiting for it.
• Keep the foundations close together. Moving a low card home too early can leave you without a place for the next card down.
