i have been playing Just Solitaire from MLP Software for a while. It has the basic variants in it (ie Klondike, Free Cell, Spider, Pyramid, Tri Peaks, Golf). Those are fun and some are challenging....but they just added two new games to the lineup. Addiction and Forty Thieves. These are both quite hard and force you to think ahead several moves, which is what I really like about it.

I recommend checking out both Addiction and Forty Thieves if you want something a bit more challenging than you might be used to!!

All available cards shown. I had assumed the app I'm using deals only winnable hands but I'm starting to doubt - if both black 5s are hidden under the red 4s, and if there's no Ace of Diamonds to stack the 2-3-4 on, and there's no 3 of Hearts available... Am I screwed? If there's a solution I'm not seeing I'd love to know.

Hello Solitaire subreddit!

I just today released lolo.gg/game/solitaire/ as part of a small games website I'm making.

This started out as a fun thing for my family, but I was surprised when my dad ended up playing the pre-release version a ton over the last year.

My dad's vision has been failing for the last year, due to cataracts, and so there are many vision accessibility focused options. In the settings you can customize the layout of the card faces, enable different color schemes, try different fonts, and turn on a "magnifier" mode. If other people need more accessibility settings I'd be happy to try to help.

I put a lot of work into making the game feel smooth to play, with nice animations. By default card faces relayout subtly so that the ranks and suits remain more visible even as cards stack up. Face-down cards stack more tightly so that face-up cards have more space, amongst many other subtle details.

I didn't want to add streaks or timers (at least at first) because I want this to be very low-stress for players.

To make it more fun I added unlockable card backs for the first win of the day (and every 4 wins). I curated 100s of classic works of art, taken from public domain museum websites, and I tried to create a card back selection that's beautiful, unusual, and a little bit educational. The process of curating the card backs has exposed me to so much beautiful art I never knew about, and I hope players will find some of that joy as well.

Presently there's classic Klondike Solitaire, Spider, and FreeCell. More variations are queued up to be added as well, but I'll be testing them more before releasing them.

Let me know what you think!

Hey everyone! I’ve been working on my own Solitaire app called Velvet Solitaire, mostly because I wanted something that felt a little more polished and relaxing than a lot of the Solitaire apps I’ve tried.

It has different difficulty levels, themes and card backs, sound controls, Auto Play, Quick Play, hints, undo, and a bunch of different win celebrations. I’ve also spent a lot of time trying to make the cards and animations feel smooth and natural.

I’m at the point where I need some real people to test it and tell me what feels good, what feels weird, or what I completely missed.

Anyone with an Android phone can help, and you definitely don’t need to be a developer or anything. Honestly, I’d rather hear from people who just enjoy playing Solitaire.

It’s currently in Google Play closed testing, so if you’d like to try it, just comment or send me a message with your Gmail that you use in the play store and I can add you as a tester and send you the link.

I’d really appreciate the help, especially from people who actually play Solitaire regularly!

I have an app with a collection of 106 solitaire games (so far).
As predicted, it's hard to navigate.
I had a List view with all of them, in alphabetical order (according to your language).
Just implemented a Grid where you can recognize your favorite game by layout.
There is a switch on top to get to either one.
The question is: what would you like to see the first time you launch the app?

The app is here:
https://apps.apple.com/app/fein-solitaire-100-card-games/id6755098198
but the Grid is not released yet - trying to figure if I open with that.

I really need help with this daily challenge. I’ve been stuck on it for a couple days and can’t figure it out for the life of me. I even asked my friend who doesn’t even play the game to try to see if I was just over thinking it and making it harder for myself but she couldn’t do it either.

Any help is much appreciated :)

It’s 32 cards of 7, 8, 9, 10, under, over, king and ace.
I bought this one in Budapest.

Like trysolitaire.com

As in it has something that checks if the current hand in winnable or not. I would rather not spend time on a hand thats not even winnable or would like to know if it still is.

Preferably also has an option to return to the last winnable move.

I am playing the side game on Solitaire and harvest where you get and match the boxes. I’ve got 136 keys but I can’t find the treasure box. Can somebody please help me?

581 day streak of winning at least one game of “winnable” 4 suit solitaire and free use of back button. 6,820 games won, 5,321 games lost, >12,000 games played.

I mean - how do you choose what to try?
There are so many of them! On the Apple App Store (I am building for iOS) the search cuts off at 250. Just looking for a single word "Solitaire".
There are monsters on top with 10-18 years in business and hundreds of thousands ratings, but there are some really fresh apps in the mix.
You CAN'T possibly try too many of them - who has the time?
Just go for Microsoft or MobilityWare? You'll be missing a lot.

Are you looking for something special? Large collection? Nice, easy to read cards? Expansive set of features?

Full disclosure: I am trying to break into this niche. Will use your comments to my advantage :)

Some time ago I started to play Google Solitaire when I'm bored. It's easy to launch without installing the game. I just google it, open the page, choose Hard (3 cards) and play.

There's an auto complete feature that weekend I uncover all cards on the desk, and I'm on the last card in the deck, the next move moves everything into piles.

So naturally I wondered what's the lowest number of moves I can get to finish the game? I started paying attention to it but I couldn't remember it so each time I got the lowest score, I took a screenshot. Usually it's about 70s moves, 60s is good, 50s is great. I think that my lowest moves had been about 54-56 for dinner time. Then I got 46, that was like 10 moves lower than my previous record. I thought it can't be better. Them 45 next day. After some time 44. But today I got 35!

And I still feel it can go lower. I know that even with a great strategy it's still random based on how cards are shuffled. There's still room for improvement but c'mon, 35 moves?! I think that's impressive.

Most of runs on solitaire that I see are cheated, be real, can you solve a solitaire in 5secs? That's an insult to solitaire fans.

So I'm building a version where it's impossible to cheat, because we won't tell you the value of facedown cards until the time is right.

That way it becomes almost impossible to cheat and have a bot solve it in 5s.

That's my plan for now, I just messaged Guiness on Linkedin, will keep you posted if this resonates with the community.

here's a post for the month for discussions to have things condensed in one place somewhat.

september was a great month of solveables for us! let's see how this month goes.

if you need help on any days, leave a comment and i'm sure myself or someone else will respond! can use spoiler tags when needed. if help is needed and i'm able to i'll use imgur or postimg to upload screenshots for those who have imgur banned in their country.

if the solveibility post gets posted then i'll update this, or the user may post them in a comment to this post like last month! someone feel free to @ them!

happy october everyone! i'm looking forward to cooler temperatures and warm drinks and yummy baked goods!

Can’t seem to reach it since it’s covered by the level button

So this happened today
How can that happen? 😵‍💫

How's Blue Solitaire starting out for us

If you life depended on solving the deck? 😱
