Solitaire strategy: uncover the hidden cards
The key to winning Klondike Solitaire: free the face-down cards, starting with the columns that hide the most. Learn to pick the right move. Winning ideas · lesson 1 of 4.
The lesson in words
Every game is won by turning over the face-down cards in the columns. Most of the cards you need are hidden there.
So when two moves look the same, choose the one that works on the column with the most face-down cards.
Both black 7s can go on the 8 of diamonds. The 7 of clubs sits alone. The 7 of spades has four face-down cards under it.
Try it: Make the move that does the most good.
When you have a choice, dig into the biggest pile of face-down cards. Next: empty columns and Kings.
