The Pyramid Solitaire playbook
Open Pyramid Solitaire, check the instructions and begin a round. Remove all 28 pyramid cards. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Look at what changes after your first action.
Pyramid, stock and waste; one stock recycle. Free solo play, no wagering.
Practice beyond the first move
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Refer to the controls when needed.
What you are aiming for
Remove all 28 pyramid cards. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Keep the controls in easy reach.
Work through the instructions
- 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.
How your actions work
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. A new-round button replaces the current round.
A useful example
An exposed queen pairs with an ace; a jack pairs with a 2. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. 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. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
