Solitaire is a card game included in most versions of Microsoft Windows. It is a version of Klondike. Microsoft has included the game as part of the
Windows operating system since Windows 3.0, starting from 1990. The game was developed in 1989 by then intern Wes Cherry, who famously received no royalties from his work. The card deck itself was designed by Macintosh pioneer Susan Kare.

Productivity in business lost by employees playing Solitaire has become a common concern since it became standard on Microsoft Windows.

CHEATS

One card in three card game
Start a three card draw game. Hold Ctrl + Alt + Shift and click on the deck to only draw one card. Please note: If you hold Ctrl + Alt + Shift at the circle at the end of the deck, points will not be taken off your score.

Automatic win
To automatically win the game, press Shift + Alt + 2. The cards will start jumping down as if you had won the game legitimately.

GAMEPLAY HINTS

Reset cards
If all cards have been revealed in Vegas mode, and the game was not completed, double click on the circle which previously held the cards. All cards will return to their original position at the cost of 100 points.

Sort cards
Click the Right Mouse Button in an empty area to automatically move all cards to top section of four slots.

Extra move and points
Use the following trick to get an extra move. For example, if you have the Ace of Spades (black) in the ace piles and the Two of Spades (black) up on the draw deck. You have a Three of Hearts (red) on a pile. If you move the Two to the Ace, you will get 10 points. If you move the Two on top of the Three you will get 5 points. If you move the Two to the Three then move it to the Ace, you will get 15 points, which results in an extra 5 points.
