Tips & strategy

  • Turn up face-down tableau cards as early as you can — buried cards are dead weight.
  • Don't rush every ace to the foundation; a low card is sometimes more useful on the tableau.
  • Empty columns are gold: only kings fill them, so plan what goes there.
  • Draw one is far more winnable than draw three, so start there for your first wins.

Frequently asked questions

Is every Klondike deal winnable?

No. A good share of draw-one deals can be won with careful play, but some are impossible from the start — that is part of the classic game.

What does Auto do?

Auto repeatedly sends any card that can legally move to a foundation, so you don't have to click the last tidy-up moves by hand.

How is my score tracked?

Your record is the fastest time to clear the board, saved separately for draw one and draw three.
