Your guide to Russian Solitaire

Work at your own pace. 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. For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Move any face-up card and its tail onto the next higher rank of the same suit. Kings fill empty columns. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.

Yukon-style deal, same-suit building, no stock. Free solo play, no wagering.

An idea for your next attempt

Begin with the objective. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Use another round to revisit a decision.

The playing sequence

  1. Move any face-up card and its tail onto the next higher rank of the same suit. Kings fill empty columns.
  2. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
  3. Move exposed cards onto suit foundations in the stated rank order.
  4. Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.

Making selections and moves

Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. Take a moment to read the table.

A closer look at one example

A heart 6 fits a heart 7, not a spade 7. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.

Watch out for this

Begin with the objective. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
