Game guide · KSZXDJJ
A practical guide to Klondike Solitaire
Work at your own pace. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Take a moment to read the table. Build down in alternating colours; kings fill empty columns. Valid ordered runs move together. Use another round to revisit a decision.
One deck; draw-one or draw-three stock; waste recycling. Free solo play, no wagering.
Practice beyond the first move
Keep the active rule in mind. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
The goal to keep in mind
Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Use another round to revisit a decision. For a calm first round, focus on one decision.
The order of play
- 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.

An example before you play
