The grown-up Klondike app. Free to play, with one optional unlock and deals a solver has proved winnable. No ads, no subscriptions, no accounts. Works offline - even on a plane. WHY THIS ONE Search the App Store for solitaire and the results blur into the same pile: a banner under the cards, a video after every win, and a "REMOVE ADS" button that costs more than the game. This one isn't that. No ads, ever. The single Unlimited Play unlock removes the coin cost of deals and hints forever; that is the entire monetization. WHAT MAKES THE DEALS FAIR • Winnable deals are proved, not promised. A real solver plays every one through to all 52 cards home before it reaches you. It can pass on a deal that was secretly solvable, but it will never hand you one it hasn't won itself. You still have to find the line. • Or take a random shuffle and play it honest, winnable or not. • Hints explain themselves. Not two highlighted piles, but a sentence saying which card, where it goes, and what it opens up. • Undo is always free and unlimited. HOW THE COIN SYSTEM WORKS • Start with 400 coins. A random deal costs 25, a solver-proved winnable deal costs 50, a hint 10. • Every win pays 50 coins, and 50 more arrive every day, automatically. • The daily challenges never cost a coin, so there is always a free game to play. • One Unlimited Play unlock makes deals and hints unlimited forever, on your iPhone, iPad and Mac. No coin packs, no boosters, no "watch an ad for another deal." CORE GAMEPLAY • Draw 1 or Draw 3, with unlimited passes through the stock in both. • Standard or Vegas scoring, or no score at all if you would rather just play. • A daily challenge for each draw: every date its own fixed deal, the same for every player, with a calendar of the days you have won. • Three daily goals, a level to climb and a day streak, all from playing - stars can't be bought. • Statistics that count every hand, plus Game Center achievements and leaderboards. • Share any deal with a link and see who clears it faster. • Your game is saved as you play - resume after a phone call, a force-quit, or a relaunch. PRESENTATION • Every card deck and table colour is free to everyone, with nothing to unlock. • Big, clear cards. Universal for iPhone and iPad. Portrait and landscape, left- or right-handed. • Sound and haptics, each one separately switchable. WHAT THIS APP IS NOT • Not ad-supported. No ads, ever. • Not subscription-based. One optional unlock, nothing else to buy. • No accounts, no sign-in, no analytics. The only thing that ever leaves your device is, if you use Game Center, your scores.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Card ▻ Games at none against Lamplight Solitaire's 1. Card ▻ Games also leads on iOS requirement (12.4 vs 26.0). Lamplight Solitaire's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
