Classic Klondike solitaire for iPhone and iPad, built so that every card movement feels right. Drag a card and it lifts under your finger. Tap it and it goes where it should. Drop it somewhere it cannot go and it slides back home. Solitaire is a game of a few hundred small movements, so that is where the work went. THE GAME • Draw one or draw three — switch whenever you like; it takes effect on the next deal • A Daily Challenge: one deal a day, the same deal for everyone • Unlimited undo — take back any move, as many as you want • Restart the current deal without a new shuffle • Auto Complete finishes the board for you once the stock is used and every card is face up • Winnable Deals Only: an optional mode that deals only boards a solver has proved can be won HELP WHEN YOU WANT IT • Hints come from the same rules engine the game runs on, and show both the card to move and where it goes • Drop hints outline the piles a card may legally land on while you hold it MAKE THE TABLE YOURS • Nine card designs: Standard, Classic Fine, Big Print, Casino, Vintage, Storybook, Silver, Poker and Large Index, each with its own aces and court cards • Ten tables, from green felt to Casino Red, Walnut, Light Oak and Leather, and six card backs • See every table, card back and card design on the felt before you choose • The stock on the left or the right, or let the board decide • The standard deck, the classic green table and the crimson back are free; the others come with Premium MADE FOR BOTH SCREENS • Portrait and landscape on iPhone • On iPad the board uses the extra room instead of simply stretching the cards • Sound and haptics you can switch off, and support for Reduce Motion YOUR RECORD • Statistics: games played and won, win rate, fastest win, average moves, and your current and best run of days with a win • Day Streak: win a game every day to keep your run going; the first win of each day is celebrated, along with the days you won this week • Game Center leaderboards and achievements, if you use Game Center No account to create, and Game Center is optional.

All three give exactly the same. Purchases restore on all devices signed in to the same Apple Account. The free version includes one new game a day. It shows a banner on the start screen and an occasional ad between games — never during one. Every game comes with one free hint; after that you can watch a short ad for each further hint, or not.
