Can you move more than one card at a time?
Moving cards in groups is central to solitaire strategy, though each game has its own rule about which groups qualify.
Moving ordered runs
In Klondike, any face-up sequence built down in alternating colors moves together, so a red six on a black seven travels as a pair. Yukon goes further: you can lift a group even when the cards beneath the top card are not in sequence, which makes for wildly different play. The receiving column still has to accept the bottom card of the group legally.
The FreeCell supermove
FreeCell only ever moves one card at a time in strict rules, but the interface lets you move a group as a shortcut for a series of single moves. The maximum group size equals (free cells + 1), doubled for each empty column. So the more open cells and columns you keep, the larger the runs you can shuffle around in one gesture.
Same-suit rules in Spider
Spider lets you move a run only if it's in the same suit and in descending order. A mixed-suit sequence won't lift as a group, which is exactly what makes higher suit counts so demanding. Knowing each game's grouping rule is half of playing it well.

How do you play solitaire?
In the classic Klondike game, you deal seven tableau columns and build them down in alternating colors, while moving Aces up to four foundation piles and building each foundation up by suit to the King. Draw from the stock to find cards you need. Clear all 52 cards to the foundations to win.
What is FreeCell?
FreeCell is a solitaire variant in which all 52 cards are dealt face up from the start, and four 'free cells' let you set cards aside temporarily. Because there's no hidden information and about 99.999% of deals are winnable, it's the purest test of skill in the genre.
What is Yukon solitaire?
Yukon is a single-deck relative of Klondike with two big twists: there's no stock, so all 52 cards are dealt to the tableau up front, and you can move any face-up card along with everything on top of it, even if those cards aren't in sequence. About 80% of deals are winnable.
