Understand the basics of Golf Solitaire

Keep the active rule in mind. Remove all 35 tableau cards. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Check the relevant controls before continuing. Before making a move, check the cards in view. Take an exposed bottom card one rank above or below the waste top, allowing ace–king wrapping. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.

Seven columns of five, one stock pass. Free solo play, no wagering.

A focus for your next round

Look at the complete hand before deciding. Tap exposed cards that satisfy the removal rule shown above. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
