Pyramid Solitaire — Play Free Online

Pyramid Solitaire is a quick, addictive pairing game: clear a pyramid of 28 cards by removing pairs that add up to 13.

It is free, requires no download or account, and loads instantly in your browser on desktop and mobile.

Rounds take just a few minutes, which makes pyramid the perfect short-break solitaire variant.

How to Play Pyramid Solitaire

Cards score their face value; Jacks are 11, Queens 12, Kings 13. Remove pairs whose values total 13 — a lone King (13) can be removed by itself.

Only fully uncovered cards can be played. Every card you free up may unlock the pair you were waiting for, so work from the edges of the pyramid.

The stock and waste pile at the bottom cycle cards you can pair with the pyramid; clear the whole pyramid to win.

Tips for Pyramid Solitaire

Kings are free points — remove them the moment they appear.

Do not blindly pair the first match you see; check which removal unlocks the most covered cards.

Track which ranks you have already burned from the stock before you commit to a pairing plan.
