Solitaire rules questions
Short, exact answers to the Solitaire rules people most often look up — each one matches how the game is actually scored here.
Is this Solitaire draw one or draw three?
Draw one. Each click on the stock turns over a single card, so every card in the stock is playable on every pass. That makes it easier to win than draw three.

As many as you like. When the stock runs out, click it to turn the waste pile back over and draw again. Each draw and each reset of the stock is one move.
Read the full answer →What can go in an empty column in Solitaire?
Only a king, or a run of face-up cards headed by a king. Queens and lower cards can’t start an empty column, so clear one only when a king is ready to move in.

Yes. The top card of any foundation can come back down onto the tableau if it fits there: one rank lower than the card it lands on, and the opposite colour.

Yes. Any face-up card in a tableau column can be moved together with every card on top of it, as long as the card you pick up fits where you drop it.

No. Each deal is a random shuffle, and some Klondike deals can’t be won however you play. Draw one with unlimited passes wins far more often than draw three.
Read the full answer →Does undo count as a move in Solitaire?
No. Undo takes back your last move and the move counter goes back with it, so an undone move doesn’t count. You can step back through up to 100 moves.
