Getting started with Klondike Solitaire
Keep the active rule in mind. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. Look at the complete hand before deciding. Build down in alternating colours; kings fill empty columns. Valid ordered runs move together. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
One deck; draw-one or draw-three stock; waste recycling. Free solo play, no wagering.
One thing to notice as you play
A clear plan starts with the current position. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Use another round to revisit a decision.
Your goal
Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Check the relevant controls before continuing. Work at your own pace.

One way to understand the rules
A red 6 fits a black 7, not another red 7. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
A common point of confusion
Look at the complete hand before deciding. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
