help Solitaire FAQ
Why did Microsoft include Solitaire with Windows?
Microsoft Solitaire helped users become comfortable with mouse actions such as pointing, clicking, and drag-and-drop. Wes Cherry developed the game, and Susan Kare created its original card graphics for Windows 3.0.
Which solitaire rules does the classic Windows game use?
It implements Klondike, with seven tableau columns and four foundations built upward by suit from ace to king. Depending on the version and settings, the stock can deal either one card or three cards at a time.
Is Microsoft Solitaire Collection the same as the original Windows Solitaire?
Microsoft Solitaire Collection includes Klondike but also adds Spider, FreeCell, TriPeaks, and Pyramid. It uses a newer interface with daily challenges, statistics, and online features rather than simply reproducing the Windows 3.0 program.
What is the difference between Solitaire and FreeCell on Windows?
Classic Solitaire hides many cards and relies partly on the order in which they are revealed. FreeCell deals all 52 cards face-up and adds four temporary storage cells, making most deals solvable through planning.
