Solitaire the way it should be: clean, fast and honest. No ads, no pop-ups, no nagging. Just classic Klondike on a velvet table. KLONDIKE, DONE RIGHT - Draw one or draw three, your choice - One-tap play: tap a card and it goes where it belongs - Elegant purple-and-gold table with tuned sound and haptics - Score, time and move counters, with the clock hideable if you would rather not watch it - Auto-complete finishes the game once the win is certain A NEW DEAL EVERY DAY The Daily Challenge deals everyone the same game each day, and every Daily is a deal our solver has already won, so it can always be won. Win it to start a daily streak; one missed day a week will not break it. Past Dailies can be replayed from the calendar, card for card. SOLVER-CHECKED DEALS (PREMIUM) About one Klondike deal in five simply cannot be won, however well you play. Premium checks your deal with a real solver before you see it, one that reports a deal winnable only once it has actually found a winning line. The check is quick or it is skipped, so you are never left waiting on it. TRACK YOUR GAME - Lifetime stats: games played, games won, win rate - Personal bests: highest score, fastest win, fewest moves - Win streaks, plus current and best daily-challenge streaks - 26 achievements to chase PLAY YOUR WAY - Play as a guest: no account needed, works offline - Or sign in with Google, Apple or email to keep your progress - Free play includes 3 hints and 20 undos every game - Premium ($3.99/year) unlocks solver-checked deals, unlimited hints, unlimited undos and extra card backs - All Access ($7.99/year) unlocks the Premium versions for Spades, Blackjack, Solitaire and Poker NO ADS, EVER No banners, no rewarded videos, no "watch a video to continue". The free game is the whole game, minus the Premium extras.
