Pyramid Solitaire: instructions and practice
Open Pyramid Solitaire, check the instructions and begin a round. Remove all 28 pyramid cards. Look at what changes after your first action. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Pyramid, stock and waste; one stock recycle. Free solo play, no wagering.
Practice beyond the first move
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. Make the next step deliberately.
Your objective
Remove all 28 pyramid cards. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
How to proceed
- 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.
Input guidance
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. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
A closer look at one example
An exposed queen pairs with an ace; a jack pairs with a 2. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the controls nearby.
Where a round can go wrong
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Check the rule before repeating the action. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
