Daily Solitaire Challenge
Every day there’s a new Klondike Solitaire deal waiting for you, and it’s the same deal for everyone who plays that day. It’s free, it’s winnable, and it takes about as long as a cup of coffee. The game above opens straight into today’s challenge.
How the Daily Challenge Works
- One deal per day. The deal changes at midnight, based on the date on your device.
- Same deal for everyone. Everyone playing on the same date gets the same cards, so you can compare times and move counts with friends.
- Always winnable. Each daily deal is picked from Klondike deals we’ve checked can be won in Turn 1 mode.
- Unlimited undo and hints. Use them freely; a win is a win.
- Nothing to sign up for. Your wins and streak are saved in your browser on this device.
Streaks and Monthly Trophies
The sidebar calendar tracks your month. Every daily challenge you win gets a check mark, and your daily streak counts how many days in a row you’ve won.
Three monthly trophies unlock as you go:
| Trophy | How to earn it |
|---|---|
| 🏆 10 | Win 10 daily challenges in a month |
| 🏆 20 | Win 20 daily challenges in a month |
| 🏆 Full month | Win every daily challenge in the month |
Missed a day? Click any earlier date in the current month to play that day’s deal. Winning it fills the gap in your calendar and your streak.
Tips for the Daily Deal
The daily challenge is standard Klondike, so everything you know applies. A few habits help most:
- Flip face-down cards first. Moves that reveal a hidden card are almost always the best ones.
- Don’t rush cards to the foundations. Keep middle cards on the tableau while you may still need them as landing spots.
- Save empty columns for Kings, ideally a King with useful cards underneath it.
- Go through the whole stock before committing to a plan.

Why a Daily Game?
A single daily puzzle is a well-worn habit, as crossword and word-game fans know. It’s short enough to fit into a break, and one quick game a day is a nice way to keep your mind active. There’s more on that in Is Solitaire Good for Your Brain?
