The deal starts when the page does
Search for solitaire online and the first tap is often a Microsoft login, or a close button that covers the waste pile. I wanted Klondike that is already dealt when the page finishes loading, with a timer that stays on this device.
This page deals as soon as it loads. There is no account. The current hand stays in this browser until you deal again. U undoes. H names a legal move. D draws from the stock. Drag a card onto a pile, or tap it and then tap where it should go. A second tap on an ace sends it to the foundation. The columns overlap so seven piles fit on a narrow iPhone screen.
Draw one or draw three, same rules
Klondike is seven columns, four foundations, a stock, and a waste. A red five sits on a black six. Only a king may fill an empty column. Aces start the foundations, then the same suit going up. Draw one turns a single stock card. Draw three turns three, and you play the top one. Turning the waste back over is allowed as many times as you want. That is the casual table, not Vegas scoring.
I do not promise the shuffle can be finished. Some deals cannot. Hint will say so rather than invent a path. The clock keeps running while you think. Switch draw one and draw three and the page deals a new hand. The last unfinished hand is still there if you close the tab and come back on this same browser.
A named hint and a seed you can share
Undo walks back every draw and every drop. Hint looks at the board and names one legal move, foundation first, then a column, then a draw. It is free. Share copies the seed and the draw setting, not the live position. A friend who opens that link gets the same shuffle, from the start. They do not see how far you got, and they do not inherit your stats.
Wins, hands, and best time stay on this device, split by draw one and draw three. Mixpanel sees that you opened solitaire, changed draw, or finished. It does not see the cards or the seed. Clear saved game wipes the local hand and the settings on this machine.
What this page will not do
It will not play Spider or FreeCell. Mahjong is a different layout. It will not put a video over the stock. It will not ask you to install anything. It will not call a deal winnable when the shuffle is random. Card game rules are not something I can copy as a product, and this table is new code, not a wrapped Microsoft board.
If you want another quiet game in this tab, Sudoku Online and Wheel Spinner are already live. The longer write-up is The Ad Would Not Close.
Common questions
Does this game leave my browser?
The shuffle, the moves, undo, and the hint all run in this tab. After the page has loaded you can unplug the cable and keep playing. Softery.io does load Mixpanel and Google Analytics on every page, including this one. Those calls never get the cards or the seed. They get the draw setting, a time band, and whether the hand finished.
Can I play the same deal as a friend?
Yes. Share copies the seed and whether you are on draw one or draw three. It never copies the live position, so the other person starts the same shuffle from the first card. Stats stay on this device.
Is every shuffle winnable?
No. The deck is shuffled with a seeded Fisher-Yates. Some deals cannot be finished, and the page will not pretend they can. Hint names a legal move when it sees one. When it does not, it says the shuffle is not a promised win.
What is the difference between draw one and draw three?
Draw one turns a single stock card onto the waste. Draw three turns three, and you play the top one. You can flip the waste back into the stock as often as you want. That is the casual table, not Vegas scoring. Switch the setting and the page deals a new hand.
