Pyramid Solitaire: learn through an example

Keep the active rule in mind. Remove all 28 pyramid cards. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Check the relevant controls before continuing. Work at your own pace. Only uncovered cards are selectable. Pairs total 13; a king removes alone. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.

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

Build familiarity through play

Begin with the objective. Tap exposed cards that satisfy the removal rule shown above. Use another round to revisit a decision.

The challenge in front of you

How to interact with the game

Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. Look at the complete hand before deciding.

One way to understand the rules

An exposed queen pairs with an ace; a jack pairs with a 2. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.

One detail worth checking

A clear plan starts with the current position. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
