About Solitaire Classic Klondike
Solitaire Classic Klondike is the solitaire almost everyone means when they say solitaire — the one that shipped with Windows and taught a generation to use a mouse. Build four foundation piles by suit from ace to king, using a tableau you stack in descending order with alternating colours.
It's a better game than its ubiquity suggests. Not every deal is winnable, and the winnable ones usually require prioritising the face-down cards over moves that look tidier.
How to play Solitaire Classic Klondike

- Drag it, or click the card then the destination

- Click the stock
- Build four foundations by suit, ace through king.
- In the tableau, stack cards in descending order with alternating colours.
- Only a king can move into an empty column.

Solitaire Classic Klondike tips
- Always prefer the move that turns over a face-down card.
- Don't rush low cards to the foundations; you may need them in the tableau.
- Empty a column only when you have a king ready for it.
- Deal from the stock last, not first — exhaust the board moves.
Solitaire Classic Klondike — questions
How do you win at Klondike solitaire?
Prioritise moves that reveal face-down cards over ones that simply tidy the tableau, and don't send low cards to the foundations too early — you often need them to build on.
Is every deal winnable?
No. A meaningful fraction of Klondike deals are unwinnable regardless of play, which is worth knowing before blaming yourself.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes — tap or drag cards. Nothing to install.
