Playing well

Playing solitaire well on mobile

A good mobile round should feel deliberate, not cramped. A few simple habits keep the board readable.

Tap for precise moves

A selected card can often be moved with a second tap, which is more reliable than a long drag on a narrow screen.

Use fullscreen for dense boards

Spider and FreeCell gain useful vertical space when browser controls are out of the way.

Undo is a learning tool

On a small screen it is easy to miss a card. Undo lets you inspect the position rather than punish a slip.

Keep in mind

  • Use taps for short moves.
  • Turn on fullscreen for large tables.
  • Choose a large-index deck if needed.
  • Use undo after an accidental move.
