Shuffling the deck...
Puzzle Planet is a free browser version of Klondike solitaire — the game that shipped with Windows for decades and the one nearly everyone means when they say "solitaire." There is no account to create, no download, and no video advertisement standing between you and the first deal. Open the page and the cards are already dealt.
The game supports both draw-one and draw-three modes, standard and Vegas scoring, unlimited undo, hints when you are stuck, and a daily challenge that deals every player the same seeded game. Your statistics, achievements and streaks save automatically to your own browser, so you can close the tab mid-game and pick up exactly where you left off.
The board has four kinds of pile. The tableau is the seven columns across the bottom, dealt with one card in the first column, two in the second, and so on up to seven — with only the last card in each column face-up. The stock is the face-down pile of remaining cards in the top-left, which you click to reveal cards into the waste pile beside it. The four foundations in the top-right are where you are trying to build.
The rules that govern every move are short:
You win when all fifty-two cards have been moved to the foundations, ace through king in each of the four suits.
Both, but far more skill than its reputation suggests. Somewhere in the region of four out of five Klondike deals are theoretically winnable with perfect play, yet the average player wins a considerably smaller share of them. That gap is not bad luck — it is decision-making, and it is learnable.
The single most valuable habit for a new player is counterintuitive: do not send every card to the foundation the moment you can. A card on a foundation is effectively out of play, and low cards left in the tableau are often exactly what you need to unstack a column and expose a face-down card. Aces and twos should go up immediately. Beyond that, ask what the card is still doing for you down below before you promote it.
Our solitaire strategy guide works through this and the rest of the decisions that actually move win rates — column priority, stock management in draw-three, and how to read a deal before committing to a first move.
Beyond solitaire, the site includes chess against the computer, generated sudoku puzzles across several difficulty tiers, mahjong solitaire tile matching, crosswords, a poker trainer that uses play money only, and a set of short brain training exercises. All of them are free and none require an account.
Puzzle Planet installs as a Progressive Web App. Add it to your home screen or desktop and it launches like a native application and keeps working with no internet connection at all — useful on a flight, on the underground, or anywhere the signal gives out.
Because the site has no backend, your progress is stored in your browser's local storage on your own device rather than on our servers. Nothing is uploaded and no profile of your play is built anywhere. The honest trade-off is that clearing your browser data will erase your statistics, and we have no copy to restore. Our About page explains why the site is built this way, and the Privacy Policy covers data and cookies in full.
