Your guide to Klondike Solitaire
Keep the active rule in mind. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. Use the rule sheet as a reference. 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.
Try a more deliberate round

How to use the controls
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. Take a moment to read the table.
A useful example
A red 6 fits a black 7, not another red 7. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
Check this before moving on
Before making a move, check the cards in view. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
