How to Play the 5 Microsoft Solitaire Games

1) Classic Klondike. The goal of Klondike is to create a stack of cards from low to high in each of the four foundation piles in the upper-right corner. Each pile can contain only one suit.

In Klondike, aces are low, and kings are high. The four foundation piles must begin with aces and end with kings.

Below the foundation piles, you can move cards from one column to another. Cards in columns must be placed in descending order and must alternate between red and black. For example, you can place a red 7 on a black 8.

You can also move sequential runs of cards between columns. Just click the deepest card in the run and drag them all to another column.

If you ever have an empty column, you can place a king there or any sequential stack with a king at its head.

If you get stuck, tap the deck in the upper-left corner to draw more cards. If you exhaust the deck, you can deal it again by tapping the empty deck space.

2) Spider Solitaire. In Spider, the goal is to remove all the cards from the table by creating "runs" of cards. Each run needs to be organized in descending order, from king to ace.

Multiple Suits. In games with more than one suit, runs need to be the same suit to be considered complete. Completed runs are automatically removed from the table for you.

Runs. In Spider, kings are high, and aces are low. You can build runs by moving cards between columns as long as they stack in the proper sequence (king, queen, jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, ace).

Mixing Suits. In games with more than one suit, you can mix difference suits in the same sequence, if you wish. Just remember a run has to be entirely the same suit to be removed from the table.

Stacks. In games with more than one suit, you can only move stacks containing one suit.

3) FreeCell Solitaire. The goal in FreeCell is to create four stacks of cards, one per suit, in the foundation in the upper-right corner. Each stack must be built from the low card to the high card.

Foundation Piles. In FreeCell, aces are low, and kings are high. The four foundation piles must begin with aces, and end with kings.

Columns. You can move cards from one column to another. Cards must be placed in descending order and alternative between red and black. For example, you can place a red 7 on a black 8.

Free Cells. In the upper-left corner are four free cells, where you can temporarily store any single cards during play.

Look Ahead. Once you move a card to the foundation, you can't take it back, so be sure you won't need a card before moving to a foundation pile.

4) Pyramid Solitaire. The goal of Pyramid is to clear as many boards as possible by tapping any two cards that add up to 13.

Adding to 13. For example, you can tap a 6 and a 7, or a 10 and a 3.

Face Cards. Jacks are worth 11, and queens are worth 12. Kings are worth 13, so you can remove them without having to tap another card.

Drawing. If you don't see any cards that add up to 13, then tap the Draw button next to the deck, or double-tap the card pile to reveal a new card.

Matching Cards. You can match any uncovered card. This includes the cards on the table, and the top cards of the deck and waste piles. You can even match the deck and waste pile cards together.

5) Tripeaks Solitaire. The goal of TriPeaks is to clear as many boards as possible by tapping face-up cards that are either one above or one below the top card in the waste pile at the bottom of the screen.

Rules. In TriPeaks, color and suit do not matter. You can tap any card on the board, as long as it is face-up and is either one above or one below the top card in the waste pile.

Aces. Aces can be either high or low in TriPeaks. Try to tap as many cards in sequence as you can. Here is an example sequence: queen, king, ace, 2, 3.

Drawing. If there are no moves available, tap the deck at the bottom of the screen for a new card.

Deals. If you exhaust the deck, tap the Deal button to get a brand new board.
