A few things you might be wondering

What is the best first move in Solitaire?

The best first move is usually one that reveals a hidden tableau card. If no reveal is available, move low cards to foundations or draw from the stock.

Can every Solitaire game be won?

No. Some Klondike deals are blocked by card order and hidden information, but better strategy helps you win more of the playable deals.

Should I use undo while learning Solitaire?

Yes. Undo helps you compare move orders and understand why one branch opens the board while another branch blocks it.

What if I make a mistake?

Use Undo when it is available to take back a move. Check the current mode’s rules for any effect on scoring or eligibility. Starting or restarting a game may replace your current progress.
