A simple approach to solitaire decisions

Solitaire rewards revealing information. A move that exposes a face-down card can be more useful than a move that only makes a neat-looking column.

Prioritize hidden cards

Compare two legal moves by asking which one opens another choice. Do not automatically move every card to a foundation if keeping it on the board would help build a sequence.

Understand the variant

Klondike, Pyramid and Tripeaks have different removal rules. Read the objective on the game page and test one sequence slowly. A strategy that works in one variant may waste moves in another.

Put it into practice

Choose a game that matches this topic from the category directory. Read its controls before starting, try one round, then decide what you would change on the next attempt. The game image above comes from HTMLGames.com; it illustrates this topic and the game itself is hosted by that provider.
