Pyramid Solitaire: instructions and practice

Make Pyramid Solitaire your next activity in the game library. Remove all 28 pyramid cards. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

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

Try a more deliberate round

After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Keep the objective visible.

What counts as success

Remove all 28 pyramid cards. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

The steps to 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.

Controls

Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Look at the feedback after the action.

An example to follow

An exposed queen pairs with an ace; a jack pairs with a 2. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Verify the rule before continuing.

An important reminder

Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
