Solitaire Online Free
Klondike solitaire, clean and calm. Free to play, no sign-up.
Quick rules
- Twenty-eight cards are dealt into seven tableau columns: 1 card in the first column, 2 in the second, up to 7 in the seventh. Only the top card of each column is face-up. The remaining 24 cards form the stock, placed face-down. The four foundations start empty above the tableau.
- Cards on the tableau must be stacked in descending rank with alternating colors. A red 5 can only go on a black 6. You may move a single card or a properly ordered sequence of face-up cards. When a face-down card is exposed, it flips automatically. Empty columns may only be filled with a King or a sequence starting with a King.
- Each of the four foundation piles holds one suit, built upward from Ace to King. Cards placed on a foundation cannot be moved back in traditional rules. The game is won the moment all four foundations are complete from Ace through King.
How to win more games
Strategy can take a solitaire win rate from about 15% on random play to roughly 45% with advanced technique. These ten tactics are the ones that actually move the needle — the first three each come with an inline practice board so you can feel the difference immediately.
Your single biggest constraint is hidden information. Evaluate every move by what it exposes. When two legal moves exist, pick the one that flips a face-down card — and target the columns with the most hidden cards, because they hold the most information.
Frequently asked
Is every solitaire game solvable?
No. Roughly 80% of Klondike deals are theoretically solvable with perfect play, which means about 1 in 5 games cannot be won no matter how you play. StillDeck never discards unsolvable deals — that is part of the real Klondike experience. If a game looks stuck, use a hint or start a new deal.
Can you lose a game of solitaire?
Yes. A game is lost when no more legal moves are possible and the foundations are not complete — for example, when every card in the stock has been cycled without any playable options. StillDeck detects this state automatically and lets you restart or start a new deal.
What is the difference between Draw 1 and Draw 3?
In Draw 1, you flip one card at a time from the stock, making every card accessible in order. In Draw 3, three cards flip at once but only the top card is playable. Draw 3 is harder and requires more strategic planning.
Is StillDeck the same Solitaire I played on Windows?
Yes — same rules, same deal logic, same two draw modes (Turn 1 / Turn 3), same Ace-to-King foundation build. StillDeck is a modern, browser-native rebuild of the Klondike Microsoft bundled with Windows since 1990, with themes, up to 100 undos, and offline play. If you enjoyed the old one, you already know how to play this one.
