Just Solitaire: Frequently Asked Questions

What is Just Solitaire?
Just Solitaire is a free game site where you can play full-featured versions of your favorite solitaire games. The site was born in December, 2004. We currently have 20 games but hope to one day feature more than 100!

How can Just Solitaire be ad-free, unlike just about every other web site?
Starting in June 2024, Just Solitaire switched to direct support from the people that enjoy the site. You can read more about it and join us here.

Can I change game options like the number of cards dealt from the stock in Klondike, whether the cards automatically turn over, or the game background?.
Yes. Click on the PREFS button at the top of the screen. Then click on General Prefs. There you will find many options that can be customized for each game.

The cards are too small/large.
The cards will resize to fit any window size. Try enlarging your browser window to change the size of the cards. You can also change the spacing between cards in the Settings.

When I return to the game I see the end of my old game. How do I start a new one?
Click the New Game button at the top of the screen.

The cards run off the bottom of the window.
When a tableau pile gets really large it may run off the bottom of the window. You can scroll down to view it. You can also change the spacing between cards in the Settings. Another option is to resize your browser window to make it narrow and tall instead of wide and short.
