Klondike Solitaire

Frequently asked questions

Is free Klondike solitaire really free here?
Yes — free forever, no download, no signup, no account. There is no paid tier and nothing to unlock.
How do I win a game of Klondike?
Move all 52 cards to the four foundation piles, each built up from Ace to King in a single suit.
What is the difference between draw one and draw three Klondike?
Draw one turns a single stock card at a time and is easier to win; draw three turns them in groups of three and takes more planning.
Does free Klondike solitaire work on my phone?
Yes — it runs in any modern browser, so it works the same on a phone, tablet or computer with no app to install.
Is every Klondike deal winnable?
No. Most Klondike deals can be solved, but some cannot no matter how you play them. If one stalls, just deal a new game.

FreeCell Solitaire

Frequently asked questions

Is free FreeCell solitaire really free?
Yes — free forever, no download, no signup, no account needed.
Are all FreeCell games winnable?
Nearly all of them. With every card visible and four free cells, the large majority of deals can be solved with the right plan, though a rare few cannot.
What are the free cells for?
Each free cell is a temporary parking spot that holds one card, letting you move awkward cards aside and shift longer runs.
How do I win FreeCell?
Build all four foundations up from Ace to King by suit, clearing every card from the columns and cells.
Does free FreeCell solitaire work on mobile?
Yes — it runs in any modern browser on a phone, tablet or computer, with nothing to install.

Spider Solitaire

Frequently asked questions

Is free Spider solitaire really free?
Yes — free forever, no download, no signup, no account.
How do I win Spider solitaire?
Build and remove all eight complete same-suit runs, each from King down to Ace, clearing the whole board.
What is the difference between one, two and four suit Spider?
One suit is easiest since every run is automatically the same suit; two suits is a middle ground, and four suits is the full, hardest game.
Why won't the game let me deal from the stock?
Spider only deals a new row when every column has at least one card. Fill any empty column first, then deal.
Does free Spider solitaire work on mobile?
Yes — it runs in any modern browser on a phone, tablet or computer, with nothing to install.

Yukon Solitaire

Frequently asked questions

Is free Yukon solitaire really free?
Yes — free forever, no download, no signup, no account.
How is Yukon solitaire different from Klondike?
All cards are dealt face-up, there is no stock pile, and you can move any face-up card together with every card stacked on it, in or out of sequence.
How do I win Yukon solitaire?
Build all four foundations up from Ace to King by suit, clearing every card out of the seven columns.
Can I move a group of cards that is not in order?
Yes — that is Yukon's signature rule. You may lift any face-up card with the cards on top of it, whatever their order, and drop the group onto a valid card.
Does free Yukon solitaire work on mobile?
Yes — it runs in any modern browser on a phone, tablet or computer, with nothing to install.
