Pyramid Solitaire

Pyramid Solitaire is a free online card game you can play instantly in your browser, no download or account needed. Twenty-eight cards form a triangle — a card is only in play once nothing rests on top of it. Tap two exposed cards whose ranks add up to 13 (Aces count as 1, Jacks as 11, Queens as 12) to clear them both, or tap a King on its own since it already equals 13. Draw from the stock when you need a fresh option, and pair the waste pile's top card with an exposed pyramid card too. Play through 15 levels that shift from a forgiving one-card draw with unlimited redeals to a tougher three-card draw with no redeals at all, with no timer forcing you to wait between rounds — clear a pyramid and the next level unlocks immediately.

How to play Pyramid Solitaire

1. Only exposed cards can be played — a pyramid card is exposed once both cards resting on it below have been cleared (the bottom row starts exposed).
2. Tap two exposed cards whose ranks add up to 13 to clear them both — Aces count as 1, Jacks as 11, Queens as 12.
3. Tap an exposed King by itself to clear it, since a King already equals 13.
4. Tap the stock pile to draw into the waste pile, and pair the waste pile's top card with an exposed pyramid card the same way.
5. Clear every card from the pyramid to win the level and unlock the next one — later levels draw three cards at a time and cut off redeals entirely.

Tips

• Plan a few moves ahead — clearing the two cards under a useful card is often more valuable than an easy pair elsewhere.
• Don't rush to clear the top of the pyramid; the real bottleneck is usually the wide base row.
• Keep track of which ranks are still buried — if all four 9s are gone, every remaining 4 needs a different partner.
• When the stock runs low, start planning which waste cards you still need before they cycle past.
