Klondike Solitaire

The classic game of patience and the most widely known solitaire variant. The goal is to build four foundation piles from Ace to King by suit.

Tableau: Cards can be moved between columns if they are of alternating colors and in descending rank (e.g., a Red 7 on a Black 8).
Foundations: Build these starting with the Ace. Only cards of the same suit in ascending order can be placed here.
Stock Pile: If you run out of moves on the tableau, draw cards from the stock pile.

FreeCell Solitaire

A game where almost every deal is winnable. Use the four "Free Cells" to temporarily store cards.

Free Cells: These four slots can hold one card each. Use them to uncover cards buried in the tableau.
Strategy: The number of cards you can move at once depends on the number of empty free cells and empty tableau columns.

How to Play Spider Solitaire — Complete Rules & Guide

Spider Solitaire is one of the most popular and challenging solitaire card games in the world. Unlike Klondike, Spider uses two full 52-card decks (104 cards total) and requires you to build complete same-suit sequences from King down to Ace. The game is available in three difficulty levels based on the number of suits used.

Setup & Board Layout

The Spider Solitaire board consists of three main areas:

Area	Cards	Details
Tableau	54 cards	10 columns — first 4 columns get 6 cards each, remaining 6 columns get 5 cards each
Stockpile	50 cards	Remaining cards placed face-down in the corner, dealt 10 at a time
Foundations	0 → 104	8 slots where completed K→A same-suit sequences are placed

Card visibility: All cards in the tableau are dealt face down except for the very top card of each column, which is face up. As you move face-up cards away, the card below flips over automatically.

Building & Moving Rules

Understanding the movement rules is the key to winning Spider Solitaire:

Descending Order: You can place any card on top of another card that is exactly one rank higher, regardless of suit. For example, you can place a 6 on any 7, or a Jack on any Queen.
Moving Stacks: You can move a group of cards together, but only if they form an unbroken, descending sequence of the same suit. For example, you can move 8♠-7♠-6♠ as a group, but NOT 8♠-7♥-6♠ (mixed suits cannot be moved together).
Filling Empty Columns: Any exposed card or valid same-suit sequence can be placed into an empty tableau column. This is a powerful strategic tool.
Kings: A King is the highest-ranked card. It can only be placed into an empty column, since no card ranks higher. Kings serve as the starting point of a complete sequence.

Important distinction: While you can place any card on a card one rank higher (regardless of suit), you can only move multiple cards together if they share the same suit. This is what makes Spider strategically deep — building mixed-suit sequences is sometimes necessary, but they create rigid, unmovable stacks.

The Stockpile (Drawing New Cards)

When you run out of productive moves (or simply want to reveal new options), you can deal from the stockpile:

How it works: Clicking the stockpile deals exactly 10 cards — one face-up card is placed on top of each of the 10 tableau columns.
Five deals total: With 50 cards in the stockpile, you can deal from it exactly 5 times during a game (5 × 10 = 50 cards).
Restriction: You can only deal from the stockpile if all 10 tableau columns contain at least one card. If any column is completely empty, you must fill it before dealing. This rule prevents players from leaving gaps and forces strategic play.

Completing Sequences & Winning

The goal of Spider Solitaire is to build 8 complete sequences, each running from King down to Ace in the same suit (K-Q-J-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-A).

When a complete K→A same-suit sequence is formed anywhere within a tableau column, it is automatically removed and placed on a foundation pile.
The sequence does not need to start at the bottom of a column — it can be completed at any position.
When all 8 sequences have been completed and moved to the foundations, you win the game!

Difficulty Modes (1, 2, or 4 Suits)

Spider Solitaire's difficulty scales based on the number of suits in play. You can select the difficulty from the Settings → Difficulty menu in our game.

Mode	Suits Used	Difficulty	Description
1 Suit	♠ Spades only	Easy (Beginner)	All cards are Spades. Every descending stack is automatically same-suited, so any group can be moved together. Great for learning.
2 Suits	♠ Spades + ♥ Hearts	Medium (Intermediate)	Two suits are in play. You must pay attention to suit matching when building sequences.
4 Suits	♠♥♣♦ All four	Hard (Advanced)	The classic, full-difficulty version. Requires careful planning to avoid locking cards in mixed-suit stacks.

Tip for beginners: Start with 1-Suit mode to learn the flow of the game, then graduate to 2 Suits and eventually the full 4-Suit challenge.

Strategy & Tips to Win

Spider Solitaire has a low win rate — especially in 4-Suit mode. These strategies will dramatically improve your odds:

Prioritize same-suit builds. Whenever possible, place cards on top of the same suit. Mixed-suit stacks are harder to untangle later.
Create empty columns early. Empty columns act as temporary storage (like free cells). The more you have, the more flexibility you gain for rearranging cards.
Use empty columns wisely. Don't fill empty columns carelessly. Reserve them for complex multi-move sequences or to temporarily hold cards during rearrangement.
Focus on uncovering face-down cards. The hidden cards are your biggest obstacle. Prioritize moves that flip face-down cards, especially in columns with many hidden cards.
Plan before dealing from the stockpile. Dealing adds 10 random cards on top of your columns, which can bury useful cards. Clear as many cards and create as many sequences as possible before dealing.
Build on higher cards when possible. Starting builds from Kings gives you the longest possible runway to complete a full sequence.
Don't move cards without purpose. Every move should advance your goal — either uncovering hidden cards, building same-suit sequences, or creating empty columns.
Use Undo liberally. Our game offers unlimited undo. Use it to explore different move paths and find the optimal strategy.

How to Play Minesweeper — Complete Rules & Guide

Minesweeper is a classic logic puzzle game that was popularized by Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. The goal is to clear a grid containing hidden "mines" or bombs without detonating any of them, using clues from numbers about neighboring mines in each field.

Rules & Gameplay Objective

The objective of Minesweeper is simple: locate all the mines and clear the grid. Here are the core rules:

Safe Squares: Clicking a square that does not contain a mine reveals either a number or a blank space.
The Numbers: The numbers revealed on the grid represent how many mines are adjacent to that specific square (horizontally, vertically, and diagonally). A "1" means there is exactly one mine adjacent to that square, a "2" means there are two, and so on.
Blank Squares: If a square has zero adjacent mines, it will be blank, and the game automatically clears all adjacent blank and numbered squares to save you time.
Detonation: If you click a square containing a mine, the mine explodes, and you lose the game immediately.
Winning: You win the game by uncovering all the squares that do not contain mines. You do not need to flag all mines to win, though flagging helps keep track of them.

Controls & Interactions (Desktop & Mobile)

Depending on your device, the controls for Minesweeper vary:

Action	Desktop Controls	Mobile (Touch) Controls
Reveal/Dig	Left-click on a square	Tap a square (with Dig mode active)
Flag/Mark Mine	Right-click on a square	Long-press a square, or tap (with Flag mode active)
Chording (Quick Clear)	Double-click or click both mouse buttons together on a numbered square	Tap a numbered square that already has its required flags placed

Note: Chording is an advanced technique where clicking a number that is already surrounded by the correct number of flags will automatically reveal all other remaining unflagged adjacent squares. Be careful: if you flagged the wrong square, chording will detonate a mine!

Grid Sizes & Difficulty Levels

Our Minesweeper game features three classic difficulty modes based on grid size and mine density:

Difficulty	Grid Dimensions	Number of Mines	Description
Beginner	9 × 9 grid	10 mines	Perfect for learning the basic mechanics. Small size minimizes calculation errors.
Intermediate	16 × 16 grid	40 mines	The standard challenge. Requires a mix of scanning and careful logic.
Expert	30 × 16 grid	99 mines	For master sweepers. Large playing board with high mine density.

Tips & Winning Strategies

Minesweeper is a game of deduction, not guessing (mostly!). Follow these tips to improve your play:

Start in the middle. A corner click can sometimes leave you stuck. Starting in the center or a few steps in gives you a higher chance of revealing a large open area.
Look for the obvious patterns. The most common pattern is the "1-1" pattern. If a "1" is on a flat edge and next to another "1", the squares beyond them can often be deduced as safe or mines.
Use flags to secure your logic. Flagging mines makes it much easier to visualize safe moves. It also enables you to use chording to clear adjacent cells quickly.
Learn the "1-2-1" pattern. If you see the numbers 1-2-1 in a row next to an unrevealed edge, the mines will always be under the two "1"s, and the square under the "2" is safe.
Don't guess unless you have to. Analyze the grid carefully. Almost every situation has a logical solution. Guessing should only be a last resort.
