Solitaire
Klondike, the patience game most people mean by Solitaire. Move every card to the four foundations, each built ace to king in one suit. Tap a card to pick it up and every legal destination lights up, so you spend the round thinking rather than hunting.
How it works
- Move every card to the four foundations, each built from ace to king in one suit.
- Tap a card to pick it up, then tap where it should go. Every legal destination lights up while you hold it.
- Tableau piles build downwards in alternating colours — a red six goes on a black seven.
- Only a king may move into an empty tableau column.
- Deals are shuffled, so not every one can be won. Give up the deal from the ⋯ menu to take a fresh one.
The same rules are shown inside the app, on the puzzle’s overview screen — one tap opens the difficulty choice and how to play together, so you never have to go looking for them.
Good if you want…
- The longest sit-down game in the app
- Cards rather than grids
- Something to do with half an hour
