Tap exposed cards that sum to 13 to remove them. Tap a King to clear it on its own. Tap the stock to deal.
🔺 How to play Pyramid Solitaire
Clear the whole 28-card pyramid by pairing up exposed cards whose ranks add to 13.
- Pair to 13 by tapping (or clicking) two exposed cards that sum to 13 — Ace is 1, Jack 11, Queen 12, King 13.
- Kings are worth 13 alone, so tap a K to remove it by itself.
- Exposed cards are those not covered by the two cards below them; tap the stock to flip its top card to the waste, which can also be paired.
- Three passes through the stock are allowed — fewer moves makes a better score.
💡 A pyramid card only frees up once both cards resting on it are gone, so clear from the base upward and keep the waste handy for awkward ranks.
