How to play Golf Solitaire

Golf Solitaire deals 35 cards face up in seven columns and asks you to clear them onto a single waste pile, one card at a time, always one rank higher or lower than the card on top — suits don't matter. When nothing fits, turn a card from the 17-card stock. Cards left on the table when the stock runs dry are your score, and like golf, lower is better: zero is a win. Classic rules stop at the Ace and King; switch on the wrap option and they join up.

Controls. One tap plays a card; there is only ever one place it can go. Undo is unlimited, Hint lights up a legal move, and every deal has a number: Replay restarts it and Share copies a link so a friend can play the identical layout. Keys: N new deal, D or Space for the stock, H hint, Ctrl+Z undo.

Frequently asked

How do you play Golf Solitaire? Move uncovered column cards onto the waste when they are one rank higher or lower than the waste card, any suit. Turn a stock card when nothing fits. Clear all 35 column cards to win; otherwise the cards left are your score.

Does Golf Solitaire wrap around from King to Ace? Not in the classic rules, where Aces and Kings are stoppers. This version has a Wrap option in the toolbar that lets Ace and King connect.

What is a good score in Golf Solitaire? Zero is a win. Under five cards left is a strong result in the classic no-wrap game; with wrap on, wins come far more often.

Can two people play the same deal? Yes. Share copies a link to the current deal number, so both of you play the identical layout and compare cards left.
