A simple and smooth version of the classic card game, Klondike Solitaire, optimized for smartphones! Enjoy the familiar classic Solitaire experience with controls designed for comfortable smartphone play. Move cards with a single tap and use convenient assist buttons for an even smoother experience. Perfect for a little brain training while commuting, waiting, or whenever you have a few minutes to spare! How to Play: In Klondike Solitaire, the goal is to move all the playing cards to the Foundation piles in order from Ace to King. On the tableau, cards can be stacked in descending order while alternating between red and black. Only a King can be placed in an empty column. Draw new cards from the stock, uncover face-down cards, organize the tableau, and move all the cards to the Foundations to win. Tips: * Prioritize columns with many face-down cards and try to uncover them as early as possible. * Use cards from the stock when they allow you to make a useful move, or when you have no other moves available. * If the initial layout leaves you unable to uncover even a single card, starting a new game may be the best choice. * You can enable an optional button for drawing cards from the stock, so you don't have to reach all the way to the edge of the screen every time.

About

Anvilspell

Features
Read full description

Anvilspell is a word game with a crafting economy. Trace a word across the grid to score it and clear the tiles. Or drag one tile onto an identical neighbour and forge them: two E's become a D, two D's become an F, and far enough up the chain sits a blazing Q. Each forge also heats the tile, doubling what it contributes to a word — up to eight times its face value. Every word you play spawns fresh tiles, and more of them the longer you last. Clear space to survive, or gamble that space on a bigger letter. Eventually the forge overflows. The question is only what you built first. ENDLESS One board, no limit, a spawn rate that keeps climbing until it beats you. THE DAILY FORGE One seeded board per day, exactly the same for every player, twenty-six moves to make it count. A flame-tier result you can share, and a streak that remembers. ALSO IN THE BOX A Spark that reveals the best word left on the board, once per run. A Second Wind that clears the top of every column and puts you back in. Three tile themes. No account, no sign-up, no analytics. Free to play. Nothing you can buy affects scoring.
