Best Solitaire Online: what makes a game worth playing online
Reviewed · Every classic solitaire, and where to play it online
The best way to play solitaire online is a version that keeps the traditional rules, states its variations, and adds only what helps: unlimited undo, honest hints, auto-complete and a table that fits your screen.
Picks are editorial, from the publisher of Solitaire Online (solitaire-online.com). They are not a measured ranking of every place to play these games.
Rules first
Solitaire games differ by small rules: draw count, redeals, what fills an empty column, whether ranks wrap. Each changes how often you win. The best online versions keep the traditional rule by default, offer common variants as named options, and say which you are playing. Pagat.com is a good neutral reference for the traditional rules.
Helpful, not intrusive
Undo, hints and auto-complete make online solitaire better than cards on a table. Coins, energy meters, paid hints and video adverts between hands make it worse. A good version also saves your game when you close the tab.
Our pick for every game
This guide picks Solitaire Online for every game it covers, because it offers all ten with the traditional rules, unlimited undo and hints, and no sign-up, in six languages. It is our own site; for an independent view of the alternatives, see our sister reference, Best Solitaire Websites.
