What is a winnable solitaire deal?

A deal that has been verified to have at least one sequence of moves that wins the game. Winnable doesn't mean easy — you can still lose it with the wrong moves — it means victory is always possible.

Is the Daily Challenge the same for everyone?

Yes. Each day's Daily Challenge deal is identical for every player worldwide — and it's the same deal in the browser game and the iOS app. Winning it earns Crowns, and collecting Crowns earns monthly Medals.

Are random solitaire deals actually random in this game?

Yes. True Random mode is exactly what it says — an honest shuffle with no filtering. About 79% of random Klondike deals are theoretically winnable; the rest can't be won by anyone.

Winnable deals: a game that can always be won

Roughly one random Klondike deal in five is doomed from the shuffle — no sequence of moves wins it, no matter how well you play. Winnable deals remove that frustration: every deal you're handed is verified to have a winning line. Whether you find it is still entirely up to you.

What "winnable" actually means

A winnable deal is one where at least one path to victory exists. It is a guarantee about the deal, not about your game: play carelessly and you'll still lose it — bury the wrong Ace, empty a column at the wrong moment, and the winning line quietly closes. That's exactly what makes winnable deals the best practice mode in solitaire. Every loss has an answer, so every loss teaches you something. (Stuck? That's what Peek, unlimited Undo, and Hints are for.)

100%

of labeled winnable deals can be won. Compare that to about 79% of true-random deals — and far fewer in practice, since nobody plays perfectly blind.

The Daily Challenge: one deal, the whole world

Every day, The Original Solitaire+ deals a Daily Challenge — and it's the same deal for every player on Earth. The deal you play in your browser here is the very same deal iOS players get in the app that day. Beat it and you earn Crowns; collect Crowns through the month and you earn Medals. It's a quiet little ritual with real stakes: when you win, you've beaten the exact layout everyone else wrestled with today.

True Random mode, for the purists

Some players want the kitchen-table experience: a genuine shuffle, whatever it deals, doomed deals and all. True Random mode is exactly what it says — no filtering, no curation, honest odds. We label our modes clearly because "random" shouldn't be a marketing word: when this game says random, it means random, and when it says winnable, it means winnable. Your win rate in True Random is the real measure of your game — here's how to raise it, and why it's probably lower than you'd like.

🏆 A good way to use both modes

Learn on winnable deals (every loss has a lesson), test yourself on the Daily Challenge (same deal as everyone else — no excuses), and keep True Random for when you want the unfiltered classic. In Draw 1 or Draw 3, whichever you prefer.
