Getting started with Golf Solitaire

Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. Remove all 35 tableau cards. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. A clear plan starts with the current position. Take an exposed bottom card one rank above or below the waste top, allowing ace–king wrapping. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

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

A small practice goal

Begin with the objective. Tap exposed cards that satisfy the removal rule shown above. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
