Which solitaire game should you play?
Match the game to your mood - here's a quick steer:
Best if you're brand new
Start with Klondike or one-suit Spider. Both are forgiving, win often, and teach the core build-down mechanic behind the whole family.
Best for pure skill, no luck
FreeCell shows every card from the start and is winnable in almost every deal, so a loss is nearly always a fixable mistake rather than bad luck.
Best for a quick five minutes
Reach for a fast matching game: TriPeaks, Golf or Pyramid - simple rules, quick rounds.
Best if you want a real challenge
Russian Solitaire and Forty Thieves humble even strong players, with under one deal in ten falling to careful play.
Classic
The games most people picture when they hear "solitaire" - foundation-building single- and double-deck patiences.
Matching
Fast, light games where you clear cards by pairing or laddering ranks instead of building foundations.
Klondike Family
Klondike-style tableau games that deal most cards face up and reward bold, open-ended play.
Spider Family
Games built around assembling long same-suit sequences across a wide tableau.
Two-Deck
104-card marathons that demand patience and long-range planning.
