How do you play Klondike Solitaire?

Build the four foundations from Ace to King, one per suit. On the tableau, stack cards in descending order with alternating colors to uncover the face-down cards, and draw from the stock when you're stuck. Empty columns can only be filled by a King.

Is every Klondike game winnable?

No — roughly 80% of random deals are theoretically winnable, but a wrong move can lock a winnable game. Undo is your friend.

What's the difference between Draw 1 and Draw 3?

Draw 1 turns one stock card at a time and is much easier. Draw 3 turns three at once, but only the top card is playable — the classic hard mode.

Is Solitaire free to play?

Yes. Klondike Solitaire is free in your browser — no download, no login, and your game saves automatically so you can resume any time.
