## What is Cardways?

Three classic solitaire games in one app — Klondike, FreeCell and Spider — and every one of them is completely free.

Totally ad-free and nothing to pay for
Cardways has no ads of any kind, ever. There are no in-app purchases, no subscriptions, no premium version and no tip jar. Every game, every deal and every feature is available from the moment you download it, without any charge — nothing is locked away.

Every deal can be won
Each deal is checked by a solver before you see it, so there is always a way through. If a game goes wrong, undo as far back as you like and try another route.

Three games in one
• Klondike — the classic patience game, with Draw 1 or Draw 3.
• FreeCell — every card starts face up, with four free cells to plan your moves.
• Spider — build runs in a single suit, with 1, 2 or 4 suits, from relaxing to really tough.

Play your way
Tap a card to send it to the best place, or drag it exactly where you want it. Undo as many moves as you like. Stuck? Tap the light bulb for a good next move — it will even tell you when there's no way left to win. Cards that are no longer needed go to the foundations by themselves.

Easy to pick up
Each game has its own How to Play guide, one tap away. Your game is saved as you play, and your games won, win rate and best score are kept for every game.

Comfortable to play
Large, clear cards drawn for iPhone and iPad, a choice of three table colors, and sound effects and vibration you can switch off.

No ads. No purchases. No accounts. No internet connection needed. Just solitaire.
