About

All 52 Solitaire

Features
Read full description

Every classic solitaire in one app. No ads, no timers, no coin balance — one purchase, and it is yours for good. WHAT YOU GET • Klondike — draw one or draw three, the game everybody means by "solitaire" • FreeCell — almost pure skill; nearly every deal can be won if you find the line • Spider — one, two or four suits, from a gentle start to a genuinely hard game DEALS THAT CAN BE WON Klondike, FreeCell and one-suit Spider deal from a bank of deals a solver has actually proven winnable, so a loss is yours rather than the shuffle's. Two-suit and four-suit Spider deal at random, because proving those winnable is not currently possible — we would rather tell you that than make a promise the app breaks. CARD DECKS YOU EARN Seven illustrated decks unlock as you play, along a single ladder. A win counts; a win without undo counts double. Nothing about them is for sale, and volume alone will get you every one. A DAILY CHALLENGE One deal a day, the same deal for everyone, one attempt. Three stars for winning, winning without undo, and playing it well. Streaks last until you actually miss a day. BUILT TO BE USED • Undo and redo as far back as you like • Tap a card to send it home, or drag a whole run at once • Save and resume — close it mid-game and come back next week • Statistics worth reading: win rate, best times, move counts, scores • Game Center leaderboards and achievements • Sound and haptics you can turn off, and it never interrupts your music • Full keyboard shortcuts on Mac ACCESSIBILITY Colour-blind-safe and high-contrast decks are included from the first launch. They are decks, not a setting buried three screens down. PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION No accounts. No analytics. No advertising. No network of any kind — every game is fully playable in aeroplane mode, and nothing you do leaves your device. ONE PURCHASE Seven complete games free, with no clock running — install it and come back in a month if you like. After that, a single unlock opens everything, permanently. Buy it on iPhone and the Mac app comes with it.
