Can I play solitaire offline?

Solitaire is the perfect offline game, and because this site is built as a progressive web app, you can keep playing when the connection drops.

Quick answer: Yes, for the most part. Because Solitaire.now is a progressive web app, single-player games keep working offline once the page has loaded, and your stats save locally on your device. Only features that need live data, like multiplayer racing and the shared leaderboard, require a connection.

What works offline

Once a game has loaded, single-player solitaire runs entirely in your browser, so Klondike, FreeCell, Spider and the rest keep working on a plane or a patchy connection. Your win counts, best times and in-progress deals save to your own device automatically, so nothing is lost when you go offline.

Install it for the best offline experience

Adding Solitaire.now to your home screen, as our mobile guide explains, gives the smoothest offline play. It opens full-screen with its own icon and no address bar, behaving like a native app, without the download or the ads that usually come with store apps.

What needs a connection

A few features rely on live data and won't work offline: real-time multiplayer racing, submitting to the shared leaderboard, and syncing stats across devices with an account. The daily challenge loads with a connection, but once open you can finish the deal offline.
