A few things you might be wondering

What is the easiest Solitaire mode for beginners?

Draw 1 is usually easiest because each stock click reveals one card and gives beginners fewer hidden stock-order decisions.

What should I do first in Solitaire?

Move available Aces to the foundations, then prioritize tableau moves that reveal face-down cards.

Can beginners use undo?

Yes. Undo is useful for learning because you can compare two move orders and see which one opens the board.

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.
