How to play Canfield Solitaire

Use PT-BUS to play Canfield Solitaire and read its instructions on the same page. Complete four suited foundations beginning at the dealt base rank and wrapping king to ace. Follow the one decision at a time approach for your next round.

Thirteen reserve cards, four columns, draw-three recyclable stock. Free solo play, no wagering.

One decision at a time

Focus on the next valid action. After taking it, check how the position or game state changed before making another choice.

Your goal

Complete four suited foundations beginning at the dealt base rank and wrapping king to ace.

Step by step

1. Build tableau runs down in alternating colours, wrapping ace to king. Reserve cards refill empty columns automatically.
2. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
3. Use foundations where available; full Spider or Scorpion runs clear automatically.
4. Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.

Controls

Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown.

A useful example

With base rank 5, a foundation runs 5 through king, then ace through 4.

Watch out for this

Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy.
