Pyramid solitaire is a well-known solitaire game. The goal in this game is to remove all cards on the pyramid by pairing the cards which give a sum of 13 points regardless of their suits. You can click to remove any pair of cards on the pyramid or the discard pile that gives the sum of 13, for example A and Q, 10 and 3, while a K can be removed by itself. When no moves are available, click the stock pile and get a new card. Count your steps wisely, clear all cards and win the game!

Pyramid holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pyramid has 296 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Pyramid's written reviews are positive against 88% of Classic Pyramid Solitaire's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pyramid ships an update every 8 months, Classic Pyramid Solitaire every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
