Question 1

Is pyramid solitaire free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The daily deal and as many other deals as you like are free, with no account and nothing to download.

Question 2

Can every deal be won?

Accepted Answer

Not every pyramid deal in general: about a third of random deals with three passes, and nine in ten with one pass, can't be won at all. That's why ours are checked. Our solver wins today's deal before it goes live, and Another deal keeps dealing until it finds one the solver can win.

Question 3

How many times can I go through the stock?

Accepted Answer

Three times in all: you can turn the waste back over twice. For a harder game, choose one pass in the settings; that has its own daily deal, also checked winnable.

Question 4

What does the hint do?

Accepted Answer

It shows the next move from a winning line worked out from where you are: the pair to take, or how many times to turn the stock. If there's no win left from your position, it tells you, so you know to undo.

Question 5

Can a card pair with the card lying on it?

Accepted Answer

No. A card is only free once both cards on it are gone, so it can never pair with one of them.

Question 6

Can I play it on a computer?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It works with the mouse and the keyboard as well as by touch on a phone or tablet.
