Ever since Solitaire was added to computers in the 1990s as a free-to-play game, it’s been countless people’s favorite time killer. I’m no different, but I always struggled to win the toughest challenges. After some research, I found out about a few hacks which can help anyone ace the game. I now use them myself in the modern online version of the game, Solitaire Social, and they make the gaming experience 100x cooler. Check them out!
1. Your first move should be to draw a card from the deck.
Having a wide range of options is truly advantageous, thus I strive to reveal as many cards as possible straight away. By doing so, I increase my chances of making the best moves. So, I make it a point to not focus immediately on building piles and shuffling cards on the tableau and instead I always turn over the first card in the stockpile.
2. Take cards out of the biggest column as soon as possible.
When I’m aiming to uncover hidden cards, I always prioritize selecting columns with substantial stacks of concealed cards. It’s highly advisable to reveal these columns of hidden cards as early as possible, as it greatly enhances my chances of obtaining valuable cards and earning higher points.
3. Don’t wait to play aces and twos.
I’ve come to realize that aces and twos don’t contribute much to uncovering hidden cards; instead, they tend to hinder progress. Therefore, whenever I stumble upon an ace or a deuce (2) in either the stockpile or one of the tableau columns, my immediate instinct is to play it right away instead of drawing additional cards from the stockpile. It’s crucial to move them to the foundations as soon as they become playable.
4. Don’t empty a column if you’re out of kings.
Only kings are allowed as the initial card on a free spot, according to the rules of Klondike, this version of Solitaire. If I lack a king to fill that vacant spot, it won’t be of any use to me and it will end up obstructing an entire column until I luckily stumble upon one. Hence, I refrain from clearing a space simply because I have the ability to do so. I try to be patient and wait until I get a king before making any moves in that direction.
5. Also, be careful when playing your kings.
When it comes to playing kings, I take a forward-thinking approach, in order to figure out which king can lead me to revealing the most hidden cards. So, I examine which king presents more compatible card options (queen, jack, ten, etc) and I make my decision to play it or not accordingly.
