How many times can you go through the deck in Solitaire?
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.
There’s no limit on passes here. When you’ve drawn the last card, the empty stock can be clicked to turn the whole waste pile back over, in its original order, and you can go through it again.
Moves still count
Unlimited passes don’t mean free passes. Every draw from the stock counts as one move, and so does turning the waste back over. The move counter matters for the weekly leaderboard, which ranks wins by the fewest moves. Undone moves come off the counter, see does undo count as a move.
When to cycle the stock
Look for tableau moves before you draw: each one may uncover a face-down card. Cycle the stock when you’ve run out of useful moves, not out of habit. The Klondike tips guide has more on playing efficiently.
