Why it exists
Solitaire is the game a lot of people reach for when they have five minutes, and it deserves better than a page that asks you to sign up before you've turned a card. The idea here is simple: the classic games with the rules played straight, cards that look sharp on any screen, and nothing standing between you and the next deal.
The other idea is a daily race that means something. Everyone gets the same deals, and the leaderboard only shows wins that really happened.
What's different here
No account
Your statistics and settings live in your own browser.
Every deal numbered
Replay a tough one or share the exact same cards with a friend.
A daily race you can trust
Every Daily Challenge result is replayed move by move on the server, and only real wins are ranked. Every Klondike daily is checked by a solver to be winnable.
Helpful, not pushy
Unlimited undo, hints, and safe cards moved to the foundations for you, which you can switch off.
No ads, and analytics kept simple
Google Analytics, with its advertising features switched off, counts visits and shows what to improve; its cookies are listed in the Cookie Policy. If ads are ever added, the privacy policy will be updated and you'll be asked for consent where the law requires it.
