How to Play Pyramid Solitaire

THE PLAYBOOK · ZZOMY

Play Pyramid Solitaire with the rules at hand

Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Pyramid Solitaire. Remove all 28 pyramid cards. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Use the example below to understand a decision.

Pyramid, stock and waste; one stock recycle. Free solo play, no wagering.

Practice with a purpose

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Refer to the controls when needed.

What you are aiming for

Remove all 28 pyramid cards. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

The order of play

1. Only uncovered cards are selectable. Pairs total 13; a king removes alone.
2. Click an exposed card or eligible pair to remove it.
3. Draw when useful.
4. Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.

Using the playing area

Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Check any mode label before starting.

One way to understand the rules

An exposed queen pairs with an ace; a jack pairs with a 2. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the controls nearby.

Watch out for this

Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Compare the situation with the worked example. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
