You want to play Solitaire on your iPhone, but you do not want to download another app. Good news: you do not have to. Solitaire.now plays right in your browser, with no install and no signup. Here is how to start in seconds.
- Solitaire.now runs in Safari, so there is no app to install.
- It is free, works offline once loaded, and takes up no storage.
- You can add it to your home screen for a one-tap, app-like feel.
- Touch controls let you tap or drag cards with ease.
Why you do not need an app
Most Solitaire apps want you to download them, watch ads, or make an account. Some even charge money to remove ads. A browser game skips all of that.
Solitaire.now loads in Safari and plays like a normal app, but it lives on the web. That means no storage used on your phone, no updates to install, and nothing to delete later. You just open the page and play. It also loads fast, even on an older iPhone or a slow signal, so you are never stuck waiting. You can start right now on the Solitaire.now homepage.
Open Solitaire in Safari
Getting in takes only a few taps. Here is all you do.
- Open Safari on your iPhone.
- Type solitaire.now into the address bar and go.
- The game loads and a fresh Klondike deal appears.
- Tap "New Game" any time you want a different deal.
That is it. The page fits your screen, and the cards are sized for touch. If you are new to the rules, our rules page walks you through them in plain words.
Add it to your home screen
If you play often, you can make Solitaire.now feel just like a real app. Adding it to your home screen puts an icon right next to your other apps.
- Open solitaire.now in Safari.
- Tap the Share button, the square with an arrow pointing up.
- Scroll down and tap "Add to Home Screen."
- Tap "Add," and the icon appears on your home screen.
Now one tap opens the game full screen, with no address bar in the way. It looks and feels like an installed app, but it never took up an app slot in the store.

How the touch controls work
Playing with your finger is easy once you know the two ways to move a card.
- Tap a card once, and the game sends it to the best legal spot for you.
- Or press and drag a card to the exact pile you want.
- Tap the stock in the corner to draw new cards.
- Use the undo button to take back a move and try another line.
Tapping is the fast way to play. Dragging gives you more control when you want to place a card in a specific spot. Both work well on a small screen.
