Classic Klondike Solitaire in your browser. Play for free, with no sign-up and no download.

Klondike is played with a standard 52-card deck without jokers.

Move every card to the four foundations. Each foundation starts with an Ace and is built up in the same suit: Ace, 2, 3 … King.

• 7 tableau columns: the first gets 1 card, the second 2, and so on up to 7 cards in the seventh. The top card of each column is face up, the rest face down.
• Stock: the remaining 24 cards stay face down as the stock.
• Waste: cards turned from the stock go to the waste pile, and its top card can be played.
• 4 foundations: empty spaces where the cards are collected by suit.

• Build tableau columns down in alternating colours, for example a black 8 on a red 9.
• A run of face-up cards can be moved as a whole to another column when its lowest card fits there.
• When a face-down card is uncovered, it is turned over.
• Only a King, or a run starting with a King, can be moved to an empty column.
• Foundations are built one card at a time, up in the same suit. The top card of a foundation can be moved back to a column.
• When the stock runs out, the waste is turned back into the stock. You can go through the stock as many times as you like.

In Draw 1, one card is turned from the stock at a time and every stock card becomes playable. The game is easier and more deals can be won.

In Draw 3, three cards are turned at once and only the top one can be played. This is the traditional, harder version. You can change it in the settings.

• Tap a card and it moves to a good place. You can also drag cards and runs.
• Tap the stock to turn cards onto the waste.
• Undo takes back moves one at a time, all the way to the start. The hint shows the next useful move, and the game tells you when no useful moves are left.
• When the stock and waste are empty and every card is face up, the game moves the rest of the cards to the foundations for you.
• In the settings (gear) you choose Draw 1 or Draw 3, the stock on the right or left, and sound.
• An unfinished game is saved in your browser, so you can continue it later on the same device.

• Uncover face-down cards first, especially in the longest columns.
• Don’t empty a column unless you have a King to move there.
• Don’t rush twos and threes to the foundations if you still need them in the tableau as a place to build on.
• Play from the tableau before the stock: a tableau move reveals a new card, a stock card does not.
• Not every deal can be won even with perfect play, so getting stuck is not always your fault.
