How to Play Pyramid Solitaire
- Card values: Ace is 1, Jack is 11, Queen is 12, and King is 13. Remove pairs that total 13 (for example 8+5, Q+A, J+2).
- Exposed cards only: You can only play cards that are not covered by two cards from the row below. At the start, only the bottom row is exposed.
- Kings: Any exposed King can be removed immediately as a single-card move.
- Stock & waste: In Standard mode you can recycle the waste back into stock up to 3 total passes. In Relaxed mode, stock passes are unlimited. Draw one card at a time and use only the top waste card for matches.
Pyramid Solitaire Tips to Win
- Prefer moves that uncover blocked cards quickly, especially near the center of the pyramid.
- Use a waste card to clear a pyramid card when possible to open more options in the triangle.
- Remove Kings as soon as they are exposed unless waiting creates a clearly better immediate pair.
- Before recycling stock, check whether a different pair order exposes better future matches.
- Use undo and hint to avoid dead-end lines when multiple pair choices are available.
