Play Solitaire Your Way

Change the way you play solitaire:

  • Auto Play: (our favorite) Use this option to automatically move cards to the foundation. We've found that players quickly find this option to be essential and miss it when it is not available.
  • Unlimited Undo: You can use the undo function to undo one or any number of previous moves. Use this option to go back in time and change your strategy.
  • Restart: Similar to Undo, Restart will start the current game back at the very beginning of the card game.
  • Game Number: Do you want to play a particular shuffle of cards over again to try to win, or to try to get a better time? Just enter the game number and play that exact game as many times as you want.
  • Turn score-keeping on or off: Use this option if you want to turn off score keeping altogether, or turn it back on again.
  • Turn the timer on or off: Do you play to beat your best time, or do you prefer a relaxing game of solitaire? Set the timer on or off as you wish.
  • Separate Players: Each player keeps their own preferences and score keeping for each game-type played.
  • Customize Toolbar: This is another favorite of ours. You can remove icons from your toolbar and re-position them. We like to set the undo button off to the right so that we don't accidentally start a new game when we just want to undo one move.
  • Help: Easily find help in playing Armchair Solitaire, and also help for playing specific solitaire card games. Our help is extensive, with newbies in mind. We like to share our knowledge of how the games are played, including hints and tips to get a better score.
