How to play Pyramid Solitaire
Pyramid Solitaire gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Remove all 28 pyramid cards. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Pyramid, stock and waste; one stock recycle. Free solo play, no wagering.
A careful first round
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
Remove all 28 pyramid cards. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Check the rules when you are unsure.
Step by step
- Only uncovered cards are selectable. Pairs total 13; a king removes alone.
- Click an exposed card or eligible pair to remove it.
- Draw when useful.
- Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.
Controls
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
A useful example
An exposed queen pairs with an ace; a jack pairs with a 2. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Watch out for this
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
