Card Games

Solitaire, built by CrazyArcade

The six solitaire games in this category were made by our team. Klondike Solitaire is the classic game with seven columns and four foundations, and you can choose Draw 1 or Draw 3. Spider Solitaire uses two full decks across ten columns, with 1, 2 or 4 suits to choose from. Both have undo, hints, standard scoring and controls that work with a mouse or a finger.

FreeCell Solitaire deals every card face up and uses the classic numbered deals, so you can replay any game by its number. Pyramid Solitaire asks you to clear a pyramid with pairs that add up to 13, and TriPeaks Solitaire is a fast game of chains, one rank up or down. Golf Solitaire uses the same up-or-down rule with seven columns, and you can play a 9-hole course where the lowest total wins. Our guides cover FreeCell strategy and Pyramid and TriPeaks tips.

Klondike or Spider?

Klondike with Draw 1 is the best place to start: you see every card in the stock and most deals can be won with careful play. Spider with one suit is also gentle, because every card can join every run. Spider with two or four suits is a real challenge and rewards planning far ahead, especially around empty columns.

Read our solitaire strategy guide for the moves to make first and the habits that lose games, such as filling an empty column with the wrong card.

This category also lists a few casual games from other developers, such as bridge-building and runner games, which are tagged as card games by their publisher.

Frequently asked questions

Can every game of solitaire be won?

No. Some Klondike deals cannot be solved whatever you do, and Spider with four suits is won far less often. A lost game is not always a mistake.

Do I need an account?
