How to play Klondike Solitaire

  1. Foundations: move all 52 cards onto four foundation piles, one pile per suit, from Ace to King.
  2. Tableau: build columns in descending rank with alternating red and black cards. Only a King can fill an empty column.
  3. Stock: when you have no tableau move, turn three cards from the stock onto the waste pile and play from the top card.

Use undo to try other lines. The hint control marks a useful move when you are stuck. Games save in the browser. Signed-in players can resume on another device.
