All nine card games
Klondike Solitaire
The classic. Build all four suits from ace to king, with draw-1 or draw-3 deals.
Spider Solitaire
Clear ten columns by building full king-to-ace runs. One suit keeps it friendly.
Spider Solitaire (2 Suits)
The intermediate Spider: two suits to untangle before the runs come together.
Spider Solitaire (4 Suits)
Full-difficulty Spider with all four suits. A genuine challenge.
FreeCell
Every card dealt face up, almost every deal winnable. Pure planning.
Pyramid Solitaire
Pair cards that add up to 13 to dismantle the pyramid, one row at a time.
Golf Solitaire
Play cards one rank up or down from the waste. Quick rounds, snappy decisions.
Scorpion Solitaire
Move any face-up stack, mess and all, and assemble each suit in place.
Russian Solitaire
Yukon's open stacks with strict same-suit builds. One of the toughest deals around.
Which game should you play?
All nine games share the same board and controls, but they don't play the same. Here's a rough order from friendliest to hardest, based on how fast you can learn the rules and how much planning each one asks of you.
1 · Fastest to learn
Golf Solitaire and Spider Solitaire
Golf's rule is simple: play a card that's one rank above or below the top card of the waste (the pile you build as you play), and clear all seven columns before you run out of stock, the face-down cards you draw from when nothing fits. Just know going in that "easy to learn" isn't "easy to win": under half of Golf's deals have a winning line at all. One-suit Spider is a different kind of easy. You build runs from king down to ace in a single suit, with no cross-suit tangles to sort out.
2 · The comfortable middle
Klondike Solitaire and Pyramid Solitaire
Klondike is the game most people mean when they say Patience, its traditional name. It has foundations (the four ace-to-king piles you're building) and a tableau (the seven columns you deal into); alternating colors and a stock you can recycle give you room to recover from a rough start. Pyramid trades all of that for arithmetic: pull pairs that add up to 13 off the pyramid and the waste until the pyramid is gone.
3 · The bridge
Spider Solitaire (2 Suits)
The honest middle step before four-suit Spider: the same king-to-ace runs, but now two suits have to be untangled in the same column instead of one.
4 · For planners
FreeCell and Scorpion Solitaire
FreeCell deals every card face up, so nothing is hidden. The challenge is pure sequencing rather than memory, and it pays off: almost every FreeCell deal is winnable if you find the line. Scorpion lets you drag any face-up stack, mess and all, but sorting that mess into four suit-ordered runs takes real foresight.
5 · The deep end
Russian Solitaire and Spider Solitaire (4 Suits)
The hardest games on the site. Russian pairs Yukon's open stacks with Klondike's strict same-suit builds, a tough combination. Four-suit Spider is the full version of the game: four suits' worth of cards to untangle into runs, with far more ways to lock yourself out than the 1- or 2-suit versions.
Coming soon: single-player classics played against computer opponents, including Hearts, Spades, and Gin Rummy.
How winnable is each game?
None of these deals are pre-filtered to be winnable. A seed makes the shuffle reproducible, not friendly. So how often can you actually win?
| Game | Win rate |
|---|---|
| FreeCelloutside research: 31,999 of 32,000 deals solved | 99.997% |
| Klondikeoutside research, perfect-information play | ~82% |
| Pyramida proven floor; the true rate sits above it | 60.6%+ |
| Golfmeasured: we solved the first 500 seeded deals | 45.6% |
| Spiderno published figure we'd stand behind | ? |
The Golf and Pyramid numbers are ours. In both games a played card is gone for good, so a computer can search every line of play from a deal and reach a real answer; we ran our solver over the first 500 seeded deals of each. Pyramid's hardest deals outgrow the search (tens of millions of positions), which is why its number is a floor rather than a point. Klondike, FreeCell, and Spider let you recycle the stock, which puts an exact search out of our reach, so we lean on outside research: a dedicated-solver study for Klondike (Blake and Gent, 2026) and the volunteer project that hand-solved 31,999 of the original 32,000 Windows FreeCell deals. For Spider, players agree it's harder than Klondike or FreeCell; nobody has published a number we'd stand behind, so we're not going to make one up.
Either way, the deal you get is never rigged in your favor. Hints work the same way: when our solver can prove a move keeps a winnable game winnable, that's the hint you get; otherwise it's a best-judgment suggestion, not a guarantee.
Built for players, not pop-ups
No pop-unders, no autoplay video, no five-second countdown before the board loads. Controls work the same whether you're tapping on a phone, clicking with a mouse, or navigating with a keyboard alone.
Frequently asked questions
Is this really free? Do I need to download anything or sign up?
Yes. Every game is free, there's nothing to install, and no account to create. Everything runs straight in your browser tab.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Every board works the same on a phone, a tablet, or a desktop. Tap or drag on a touchscreen; click or use the keyboard everywhere else.
Are the deals winnable?
Some are, some aren't. Deals are seeded so they're reproducible, not filtered for winnability. The "How winnable is each game?" section above has the numbers we measured ourselves or found in outside research.
Can I replay a deal?
Yes. Every deal comes from a seed number, and the same seed always produces the exact same cards in the exact same order, so you can replay a tricky deal or share it with someone else.
Can I undo moves?
Yes, undo is unlimited. Take back as many moves as you like and try a different line without starting the deal over.
