Solitaire
Klondike with smart click-moves, undo, draw-3 โ the desktop classic.
About this solitaire
Klondike with modern manners: click a card and it flies to the right place (foundations first, then alternating-colour builds), or click-then-click to place by hand. Unlimited undo, draw-1 and draw-3 modes, and your win record lives on this device. No ads between games, ever.
The most-played video game in history
Klondike predates computers (it appears in card-game books from the 1910s), but Windows 3.0 made it immortal in 1990 โ included, the story goes, to teach a generation mouse drag-and-drop, and by the 2000s Microsoft estimated it the most-played video game on Earth. Play honesty: with good play roughly 80% of draw-1 deals are winnable (draw-3 nearer 60%), so most losses are recoverable earlier โ the classic leaks are emptying a column without a king ready, burying aces under lazy stacking, and pulling cards off the foundations too proudly to undo. Strategy that actually moves the number: flip face-down cards at every opportunity (information is the scarce resource), prefer moves that unbury columns, and use undo without shame โ it's a puzzle, not a casino. Yacht and sudoku keep the solo shelf company.
Frequently asked questions
How do the click-moves work?
Click any card: it goes to a foundation if legal, else to a matching alternating-colour build. Click-then-click places manually; clicking the deck draws. Kings claim empty columns.
What percentage of solitaire games are winnable?
With strong play, roughly 80% of draw-1 deals and 60% of draw-3 โ far higher than most players' win rates, which is the polite way of saying the cards usually aren't the problem.
Draw-1 or draw-3?
Draw-1 is friendlier (every stock card reachable); draw-3 is the classic harder rule where only every third card surfaces per pass. Purists play draw-3; win rates prefer draw-1.
Is my win record saved?
