Want a relaxing card game without the frustration? The game above is ready to play right now: Spider Solitaire with one suit, the most forgiving solitaire there is. There is nothing to download and no sign-up. Deal the cards, build runs from King down to Ace and clear the board at your own pace. Undo and hints are always one click away.
Three things make a solitaire game easy: how much of the layout you can see, how many suits you have to keep apart, and how many deals can actually be won. Spider with one suit scores on the second and third points. Every card is a Spade, so any descending run can be moved as a block, and no card ever gets stuck under the wrong suit. Almost every deal can be solved with careful play.
FreeCell scores on the first point. All 52 cards are face up from the start, so nothing is left to luck, and four free cells give you room to manoeuvre. Klondike Turn 1 is the familiar classic: you flip one card from the stock at a time, which keeps the waste pile easy to follow. Pyramid is quick to learn, but its win rate is low, so treat it as a short break rather than an easy win.
Easy does not mean mindless. It means the rules are forgiving enough that you can learn the patterns, enjoy the flow and still win most of your games.
Win rates are approximate and depend on how carefully you play. Pick a mode and start a game.
| Game | Win rate | Difficulty | Why it is easy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spider 1 suit | Casual about 75–85%, skilled close to 99% | Very easy | One suit, so every run moves as a block. |
| Klondike Turn 1 | About 80% of deals are solvable; fewer are won in practice | Easy | One card at a time from the stock, familiar rules. |
| FreeCell | About 99.99% of deals are solvable | Easy to medium | All cards visible, no luck involved. |
| Pyramid | Low, many deals cannot be cleared | Easy to learn, hard to win | Simple pairs that add up to 13. |
