The classic card game, one card at a time
Play classic Klondike solitaire free in your browser. Turn one card at a time, take back as many moves as you like, and finish to a shower of bouncing cards. Add it to your home screen and it plays with no internet.
This is the solitaire people mean when they just say solitaire. Seven columns of cards, a face down pile you turn over one card at a time, and four spaces at the top where each suit is built up from the ace to the king. There is nothing to download and no account to make. Open the page and a hand is already dealt.
Move a card by dragging it where you want it, or simply click it and the game puts it wherever it is allowed to go. Changed your mind? Undo goes back hundreds of moves, not just the last one, so one careless play never has to cost you the game. If you close the game and come back later, the hand is waiting exactly as you left it, though the list of moves you can take back starts fresh from there.
On a laptop or a tablet the cards are drawn as real playing cards, with proper artwork on the jacks, queens, and kings. Narrow the window to phone size and the cards switch to a plain, easy to read number and suit in the corner, so nothing ever gets too small to make out.
Win, and you get more than a message. Every card leaps off its pile and bounces down the screen until the whole deck has tumbled away. If your phone or computer is set to cut back on animation, the game respects that and goes straight to the result instead.
Nothing here is timed. There is no clock ticking and no penalty for thinking. The only number on screen while you play is your move count, and when you win the game tells you whether you have beaten your own best. That record is kept on the device you play on. If you happen to be signed in to Puter, it quietly follows you to your other devices as well. You are never asked to sign in, and nothing about the game changes if you would rather not.
- One card at a time, the way Klondike is meant to be dealt. No three card shortcut changing what you can actually reach.
- Take back hundreds of moves, not only your last one. (Returning to a hand you left earlier starts that list fresh.)
- Drag a card where you want it, or click it and let the game find the spot.
- Real playing card artwork on laptops and tablets, plain and legible cards on phones.
- A whole deck of bouncing cards when you win, or a simple win message instead if your device asks for less animation.
- Add it to your home screen or desktop and keep playing with no internet, once you have opened it online at least once.
- Games played, games won, and your lowest winning move count are kept on your device, and carried over to your other devices on their own if you are signed in to Puter.
- Free, and there is no sign up to play.
- Anyone who wants plain, traditional solitaire rather than a version with its own house rules.
- Players who like to try a line and take it back if it does not work out.
- Phone players who are tired of cards too small to read.
- Anyone who wants a game that still works on a plane, on the train, or anywhere with no signal.
- Puter users who would like their record waiting on the next device without having to ask for it.
- Winning now sets the whole deck bouncing down the screen instead of showing a still message.
- The game can be added to your home screen or desktop and played with no internet.
- If your device is set to reduce animation, the bouncing is skipped and you get a plain win message instead.

All three folders share the first three pictures. The fourth one differs on purpose: the phone layout only looks right in a tall, narrow picture, so the two wide sizes show the win message there instead of a phone screen floating in a lot of empty felt.
These pictures are generated from the real game rather than mocked up, so
they need rebuilding whenever the game's look changes. See the "Regenerating
images" section of README.md for how, and store/description.md for what
lives where.
