How to play Pyramid Solitaire

Read the aim of Pyramid Solitaire, then make your first move. Remove all 28 pyramid cards. Look at what changes after your first action. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Look at what changes after your first action.

Pyramid, stock and waste; one stock recycle. Free solo play, no wagering.

A useful comparison

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Make the next step deliberately.

Your goal

Remove all 28 pyramid cards. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Keep the controls in easy reach.

Step by step

1. Only uncovered cards are selectable. Pairs total 13; a king removes alone.
2. Click an exposed card or eligible pair to remove it.
3. Draw when useful.
4. 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. A new-round button replaces the current round.

A useful example

An exposed queen pairs with an ace; a jack pairs with a 2. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Notice the change in the playing area.

Watch out for this

Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
