An introduction to playing Klondike Solitaire
For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Check the relevant controls before continuing. Before making a move, check the cards in view. Build down in alternating colours; kings fill empty columns. Valid ordered runs move together. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
One deck; draw-one or draw-three stock; waste recycling. Free solo play, no wagering.
Something to practise
A clear plan starts with the current position. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Use another round to revisit a decision.

A red 6 fits a black 7, not another red 7. Use another round to revisit a decision.
A common point of confusion
Take a moment to read the table. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
