A fine place to start
Six excellent tables — from familiar and gentle to properly challenging.
The classic
Klondike Solitaire
Build tableau columns down in alternating colours. Only kings may enter empty columns; foundations build up by suit.
PlayMost tactical
FreeCell
Build down in alternating colours, use four free cells as temporary storage and build foundations up by suit.
PlayQuick clear
Pyramid Solitaire
Remove exposed pairs totalling 13. Kings are worth 13 and leave on their own. You may pass through the stock three times.
PlayA long game
Spider Solitaire
Build down by rank. Only same-suit runs move together; a complete same-suit run from king to ace leaves the board.
PlayEasy to begin
Golf Solitaire
Play exposed tableau cards one rank above or below the waste. Clear all tableau cards before the stock is gone.
PlayOpen table
Yukon Solitaire
Build down in alternating colours. You may move any face-up card with all cards below it, even when the tail is unordered.

Rules, strategy and history are here when you want them — never in the way of the game.
Start with a classic
Klondike is the familiar game most people simply call Solitaire. Build down in alternating colours, reveal the hidden tableau and move every suit to its foundation.
Draw One is gentler; Draw Three keeps the classic tension of the stock.
Choose the right kind of challenge
FreeCell puts every card face up and rewards careful planning. Spider is longer and more tactical. Pyramid, Golf and Monte Carlo are quicker games that fit neatly into a short break.
Yukon, Forty Thieves, Canfield and Scorpion are excellent when you want stricter rules and a little more resistance.
FreeCell rewards a plan
Keep free cells and empty columns available for the moment you really need them. Expose low cards early and think about how every temporarily parked card will return to play.
Made for the game, not the clutter
The site opens quickly, works on phones, tablets and computers, and saves your current deal locally. There is no sign-up wall between you and the cards.
A small game with a long history
Patience games have been played for centuries and found a new audience through computer Solitaire. Their appeal has barely changed: a quiet puzzle, a shuffled deck and the promise that the next move might open everything.
