Solitaire
Classic Klondike solitaire — move all cards to the foundations
About Solitaire
Solitaire is the classic Klondike card game that has been played by billions of people worldwide — made famous as a Windows built-in game in 1990. Build four foundation piles from Ace to King by suit. Move cards between the seven tableau columns in descending order with alternating colours — a red 7 on a black 8, for example. Flip cards from the stock deck when you run out of moves. Solitaire is one of the best-studied casual games: research shows it improves sequential planning, patience, and problem-solving while providing genuine relaxation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I win at Solitaire?
Move all 52 cards to the four foundation piles, sorted by suit from Ace to King. Build the tableau columns in descending alternating colour sequences to unblock buried cards. The game is won when all four foundations are complete.
What do I do when I run out of moves in Solitaire?
Click or tap the stock pile (the face-down deck) to deal new cards to the waste pile. If the stock is empty and no tableau moves are possible, the game is considered stuck. Not every deal is winnable.
Is every Solitaire deal winnable?
No. Research estimates that approximately 80% of Klondike Solitaire deals are theoretically winnable, but in practice many winnable deals require specific card orders that are hard to discover. An unwinnable deal is not a failure — start a new game.
What is a good score in Flario Solitaire?
Scores are based on the time taken and cards moved. Completing the game in under 5 minutes with few stock redraws is considered excellent. The scoring system rewards efficient, purposeful play over random moves.
Can I play Solitaire on mobile?
Yes. Flario's Solitaire is fully touch-enabled. Tap a card to select it and tap the destination to move it. The card sizes and touch targets are optimised for comfortable play on phone and tablet screens.
What is the difference between Klondike and other Solitaire variants?
Klondike is the standard version most people know — seven tableau columns, one stock pile, four foundations. Other variants include Spider (multiple decks, no foundations), FreeCell (all cards face-up), and Pyramid (matching cards that sum to 13). Flario currently offers classic Klondike.
