Klondike Solitaire: instructions and practice
Before making a move, check the cards in view. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. A clear plan starts with the current position. Build down in alternating colours; kings fill empty columns. Valid ordered runs move together. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
One deck; draw-one or draw-three stock; waste recycling. Free solo play, no wagering.
Practice with a purpose
