How to play Klondike Solitaire

Move all 52 cards to the four foundation piles in ascending order by suit — Ace through King. Build the tableau in descending order with alternating red and black cards. Flip three cards at a time from the stock when you run out of moves. Only a King can fill an empty tableau column.

Use undo freely to try lines of play. The hint button highlights a useful move when you are stuck. Games save automatically in your browser, and signed-in players can resume across devices.
