Note: Five Crowns Solitaire is a daily puzzle that utilizes the same shuffle throughout the entire day. Everyone plays the same solitaire.

We encourage you to see how many tries it takes you to win and to challenge and compare achievements with your friends. Five Crowns is a five-suited rummy-style card game that everyone loves! This award-winning, classic game is a quick favorite.  The special deck makes it easier to arrange your hands into books and runs and the rotating wild card keeps you on your toes! In Five Crowns Solitaire your task is to close out all eleven hands by making books and runs. The hands are dealt out in a traditional solitaire fashion where the first column has 3 cards, the next column has 4 cards and so on until 11 columns are displayed to represent the 11 hands that are played in the multi-player version of Five Crowns. You play the cards remaining in the deck. The first card is flipped over for you. Play the card where you think it's most beneficial, and discard one card from that hand.  The discard can't be used again.   As each card is played the built-in analyzer will automatically close the hand (flip it over) when it is all books and/or runs. Play continues until either all hands are closed (you win) or the stack of remaining cards is depleted before all hands are closed (you lose). ## Key features - Daily shared shuffle - 11-column solitaire layout - Rummy-style card game - Form books and runs - Strategy improvement - Friend challenges ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Unlimited Puzzles | $0.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (10 of 49) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/five-crowns-solitaire/id1485738669/reviews.md ### 1/5 — Why💀💀💀 *2025-12-02* I was really excited to try 5 Crown Solitaire, but the game was seriously glitchy from the start. The 7 rows were already completed before I even played, which completely ruined the challenge. On top of that, it didn’t always detect when rows were finished, making the gameplay frustrating and confusing. There were a couple more bugs too that made it even worse. Honestly, the real game is way better—this one feels broken and unfinished. Definitely not worth your time. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2025-05-26* Waste of time. If I want to play a game, I want to play it for awhile, not once a day. Solved it on the first try and deleted it. Set it up like the real game with multiple players and let each one play in turn like the real game and it would be awesome. ### 4/5 — Changes to app *2025-05-24, version 1.3* What a shame the app has been updated and now you don't show the dealer and the names go in order of rankings instead of order of players ### 1/5 — Cannot purchase unlimited puzzles… *2025-03-23, version 1.3* Would love to play, but unlimited puzzles is not working ### 1/5 — Same game every day for free version *2025-02-18* They could do so much with this game. Change it up each time/ day so I At least become addicted and beg you to take my money. Roomies. ### 1/5 — Nanna *2024-11-08, version 1.3* They give any good instructions on how to play. ### 1/5 — Wrong game? *2024-10-26, version 1.3* The only game you can play for free in this app is like solitaire and not actually five crowns. Useless. ### 4/5 — Enjoy the game *2024-08-04* I get the same problem Iceland, with finishing the daily and then clicking unlimited and getting the daily puzzle again. I love playing the game and find that if I close the app and re open it then clock unlimited it gives me a new puzzle. We also play the real card game and love that also. I hope they update the issue at hand. ### 3/5 — Paid for unlimited, but get same deal *2024-05-22* I love the game. That’s why I chose to pay for unlimited games. However it is not working right. After I solve the Daily puzzle, I tap to get another puzzle and the same one comes up. I thought at first that it was only similar, but today I took a screenshot of the daily and the “new “ one and they are identical. I have emailed, but have not yet received an answer. is this just a glitch on my iPad? Or are other people having the same experience? ### 1/5 — How do you play????? *2024-05-16, version 1.3* There are no instructions. How do you play? ## Frequently asked questions about Five Crowns Solitaire ### What is Five Crowns Solitaire?
