Let’s be real. We’ve all been there, staring at the screen, thinking, “What can I do to kill time, besides checking Instagram for the hundredth time?”
Well, how about playing Solitaire right on Google?
Yup, Google can do more than answer questions.
It’s your on-demand Solitaire dealer!
Ready to shuffle?
Let’s go!
Step 1: Open Your Web Browser (Obviously)
Whether you’re a Chrome enthusiast or Team Firefox, it doesn’t matter. Open any browser of your choice.
Example: Imagine you’re waiting for your food to heat up in the microwave. Instead of standing there watching the seconds tick by, you fire up your browser. Efficiency at its finest!
Step 2: Head to Google Search
Just like you would type in any random question, go to Google.com.
Why Google? Well, it’s practically your internet genie. You ask, it delivers. And in this case, it delivers cards.
Step 3: Type “Solitaire” in the Search Bar
You’ve searched for recipes, movie reviews, and embarrassing symptoms (no judgment). This time, type “Solitaire” and hit Enter. Simple!
Step 4: Click the Game Card
Once you press Enter, you’ll see a game card at the top of the search results (pun intended). There it is – the virtual version of that deck of cards collecting dust in your drawer.
The “Play” button will pop up like a little green beacon.
Go ahead and click it.
Don’t be shy.
Step 5: Start Playing!
Congratulations! You’ve just opened Google Solitaire. Now, it’s game on! Move cards, arrange them by suit, and unleash your inner card shark.
Oh, and if you’ve forgotten the rules of Solitaire (it’s okay; it happens to the best of us), here’s a quick refresher:
How to Play Solitaire (The Essentials)
Objective:
Get all cards in the foundation piles, sorted by suit, from Ace to King. It’s like sorting laundry but less tedious.
Setup:
- Google handles the dealing, so no shuffling is required. You’re welcome.
- There are seven piles in the center (the tableau). The first pile has one card, the second has two, and so on. Only the top card in each pile is face-up. The rest are shy and face down.
Gameplay:
- Move face-up cards between the piles. But here’s the catch:
- You can only place a card on top of another if it’s one rank lower and of the opposite color. (Think red 6 on a black 7.)
- If you’ve got a King and an empty pile, move the King into that empty space like the king he is. 👑
- Found an Ace? Awesome! Send it to the foundation pile and start building your suit, from Ace all the way up to King.
Pro Tip:
If you get stuck, click the deck in the corner to draw more cards. Google’s Solitaire deck is never-ending, like a magician pulling rabbits out of hats (well, almost).

Nope, the Google Solitaire game is online. If you’re without Wi-Fi, I recommend grabbing a real deck of cards—just as fun!
