Solitaire is a classic card game, but like all card games, a good strategy is what helps you win. While part of the game is luck of the draw, quite literally, choosing your moves wisely can make all the difference. Check out these five tips for a winning Solitaire strategy and don't forget to download the game at the link below.

Be Smart on the First Move

Always draw a card from the deck on your first move as it gives you more options.

Aces and Twos

Play your aces and twos as soon as you can.

Look Ahead

Make sure to look at the cards you already have before deciding which king to play.

Expose Hidden Cards

If you have multiple moves to expose hidden cards, choose a column with the most number of hidden cards.

Empty Spaces

Don’t empty a pile if you don’t have a king to place on the empty space. A blank spot won’t help you and only kings can be placed first.

Most Importantly, Don't Forget to Celebrate Your Wins!
