What you are looking at
Seven tableau columns hold the deal, the stock and waste sit top-left, and the four foundations top-right. The goal is to build every foundation from Ace up to King in a single suit.

Play Klondike SolitaireHow cards move
In the columns you build down in alternating colours — a red six onto a black seven. Only a King can start an empty column. Drag a card or a whole ordered run, or double-click to send it to a foundation.
Turn 1 or turn 3
This page deals one card at a time from the stock, which is the friendlier version and wins far more often. If you want the tougher draw-three deal, the Turn 3 table uses the same board with a stricter stock.
Tips that actually help
- Turn a face-down card whenever you can — a blocked column is what usually ends a game.
- Do not rush low cards to the foundations; a two you send away can no longer hold a three in the columns.
- Empty a column only when you have a King ready to fill it.
- Use undo freely: it costs nothing here and teaches you which order actually works.
Common questions
- Is this Solitaire really free?
- Yes. Every game on the site is free to play, with no download, no payment and no account required.
- Can I play on my phone?
- Yes. The board scales to phone screens and cards respond to tapping as well as dragging.
- Is every deal winnable?
- No. Roughly eight in ten Klondike deals are solvable with perfect play, so a lost round is often the deal rather than you.
