  • Tap a face-up card to pick it up, then tap where you want it to go.
  • Build down in alternating colours on the seven columns — a red 7 goes on a black 8.
  • Send aces to the four foundations and build each suit up to the king.
  • Tap the stock to turn a card. When it is empty, tap it again to recycle the waste.

Frequently asked questions

Is every deal winnable?

Not every deal, no — that is true of Klondike in general, not just this version. Roughly four deals in five can be finished with careful play. Undo lets you retry a line you regret.

What does Auto finish do?

It repeatedly sends the top card of every column and the waste to the foundations whenever it legally can. It is a time-saver for the last few cards, not a solver — it will not dig you out of a stuck position.

Is my progress saved between visits?

The game does not persist a half-finished board. Each new deal starts fresh, and undo history lasts for the current session only.
