Klondike Solitaire Online

Play classic Klondike Solitaire in the browser. Draw from the stock, open hidden tableau cards, and build each foundation from ace to king.

How to Play Klondike Solitaire

Klondike starts with seven tableau columns. Only the top card in each column is face up. Use the stock to bring new cards into play, then move face-up cards or valid sequences onto matching tableau piles or foundations.

Klondike Rules

Tableau cards build downward in alternating colors. Empty columns are reserved for kings or sequences that start with a king. Foundations start with aces and build upward by suit.

Controls

Click a face-up card and then click a valid tableau pile or foundation. You can also drag cards on desktop-style pointers or use a quick second click for an automatic legal move.

Goal

Move all 52 cards to the four foundations. Completed rounds can be saved locally with time and move count.

Klondike Tips

Strong Klondike play usually starts with opening hidden cards, not with making the board look tidy.

Open face-down cards first

When two moves look similar, prefer the move that turns over a face-down tableau card. More visible cards give you more legal moves later.

Use empty columns for kings

Do not clear a tableau column unless you have a king, or a king-led sequence, ready to place there. Empty columns are powerful but easy to waste.

Move to foundations carefully

Aces and twos are usually safe. Higher cards can still help build tableau sequences, so moving them up too early can block later moves.
