How the four solitaires differ
They all look alike at a glance, but each one asks for a different skill.
Klondike Solitaire is the one most people mean by solitaire. This version draws one card at a time and lets you pass through the stock as often as you like, so it is forgiving. Its high-contrast cards were designed with e-ink readers in mind.
FreeCell Solitaire deals all 52 cards face up. Nothing is hidden, so every deal is a planning puzzle. Four free cells hold spare cards, and a button sweeps finished cards home for you.
Spider Solitaire uses two decks and ten columns. You set the challenge before the deal with one, two or four suits. One suit is a good first game. Four suits takes real patience.
Pyramid Solitaire is about addition. Remove pairs of open cards that total 13, with Kings going alone. You get two redeals of the waste pile.
Durak, the game with a loser instead of a winner
Durak flips the usual goal. The name is Russian for fool, and that title goes to the last player still holding cards. You attack with a card, and the defender must beat it with a higher card of that suit or with a trump. It uses a 36-card deck, and you can face one to three computer players or play with friends around one device.
Matching for younger players
Memory Pairs is the classic flip-two-cards game with food pictures. Boards come in 4x4, 6x6 and 8x8, and your fastest time for each size is saved. Start small with young kids and work up.
Picking a game for the time you have
Pyramid is the quickest, often a few minutes per deal. Klondike and FreeCell take a bit longer. Spider with four suits can fill a whole lunch hour. All of them work with mouse, touch or keyboard, since you can tab to a card and press Enter.
If you like tile matching, Mahjong Solitaire sits in puzzle games. For tiles you play against someone, try Dominoes or the rest of the board games.
Card Games: common questions
Which solitaire can almost always be won?
FreeCell gives you the best odds because every card is visible from the start, so careful planning decides most games. Klondike with unlimited passes through the stock is also forgiving. Four-suit Spider is the toughest here.
Can I play cards against a friend?
Yes. Durak has a same-device mode for friends as well as one to three computer opponents. The four solitaires and Memory Pairs are one-player games.
Is there a timer or score?
Klondike and FreeCell count your moves but have no timer. Pyramid has no clock at all. Memory Pairs tracks both moves and seconds and keeps your best time for each board size.
