Same suit. Descending rank. No shortcuts. Jido Solitaire is the solitaire variant that finally makes every move count — a lovingly crafted twist on the classic card game. THE CHALLENGE In standard solitaire, you can mix suits freely. In Jido Solitaire, every single move must match suit AND rank — making every decision count. Place a 7 of spades, and it can only land on the 8 of spades. There's nowhere to hide. HOW TO PLAY Eight columns are dealt across the table in a staggered triangle pattern. Your goal: sort all 52 cards into four complete suit columns, each running King down to Ace, with the remaining four columns left empty. - Drag any face-up card (and the stack below it) to a valid column - Only Kings may move into empty columns - Face-down cards flip automatically when uncovered - Use the Hint button when you're stuck - Undo as many times as you need — no penalty - Replay the exact same deal if you want a second chance FEATURES - Unlimited undo — take back any move, anytime - Hint system — flashes a valid move without spoiling your strategy - Replay Deal — retry the same shuffle until you've mastered it - Timer — track how fast you solve each game - Statistics — games played, games won, and win rate, saved on your device - Optional account — sign in with Apple or email to keep your stats in sync between your iPhone and iPad - Win celebration — confetti, balloons, and a joke when you finish - Game Over detection — alerts you when no valid moves remain DESIGNED FOR IPHONE AND IPAD Jido Solitaire plays beautifully on every screen size. The layout adapts from iPhone portrait to iPad landscape, and the touch controls are built to feel natural and responsive. Named with love for someone special — Jido. Jido Solitaire is free to play and supported by ads. An optional one-time purchase removes ads permanently.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Jido Solitaire at none against Solitaire's shown. Jido Solitaire also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 66%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Solitaire's advantage is ratings volume (28K vs 4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Solitaire sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Jido Solitaire sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

UpkeepUpdate frequency
