The essentials of playing Pyramid Solitaire
Read the aim of Pyramid Solitaire, then make your first move. Remove all 28 pyramid cards. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Pyramid, stock and waste; one stock recycle. Free solo play, no wagering.
Practice with a purpose
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. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Aim for this result
Remove all 28 pyramid cards. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Check the rules when you are unsure.
Step by step
- 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.
The controls to know
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. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
Learn from a sample situation
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.
An important reminder
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. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
