About Cat Solitaire
When you need a card puzzle that matches the length of a real coffee break, Cat Solitaire slots in without overstaying. Each level is a single, self-contained tableau — you arrange alternating red-and-black stacks until every suit is built from ace upward. A misplaced card can be undone instantly, so you never lose progress mid-level. The game clicks best as a desk companion: open a fresh puzzle while your tea steeps, and close it once the final suit snaps into place. No rolling saves, no interrupted streak — just one clean round of sequential sorting.
Cat Solitaire puts a fresh spin on classic card sorting. Your goal is to stack cards in alternating colors, then build each suit from two to king on the aces above. You can move a card or a whole ascending sequence—just make sure you place black on red and vice versa. It’s all about planning your moves to clear the piles and organize everything neatly. The satisfying click of cards falling into perfect order makes this puzzle endlessly addictive.
How to Play Cat Solitaire
- Move the top card of a pile, alone or with face-up cards below it in ascending sequence, onto a card one rank higher of opposite color.
- Place black cards only on red cards and red cards only on black cards, except when collecting suits on the aces at the top.
- Stack each suit from ace (on the aces pile) up through king in ascending order regardless of color.
- Empty a slot to use it as a temporary holding spot for any movable card or sequence.
- Turn over the top card of the stock pile at the top-left to reveal a new playable card.
- Complete the game when all 52 cards are arranged on the aces in four separate suit piles.
Game Features
- Each round generates a fully shuffled 52-card tableau with no two deals identical.
- Aces are automatically placed on reserved slots above the main piles.
- Empty tableau columns can hold any movable card or sequence without color restriction.
- Built-in undo removes the last move completely, preventing permanent deadlocks.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I place a card on the wrong color?
The game prevents the placement if the base card is the same color as the moved card (black on black or red on red). You can only place opposite colors on main piles.
Can I move a partial sequence that isn't the full run?
No. Only the top card of a pile, or all face-up cards below it that form a continuous ascending sequence, can be moved together.
Do the aces piles accept any suit in any order?
Yes. You can drop any ace onto an empty ace slot, then build that same suit from 2 up to king — color alternation doesn't apply on top piles.
Is there a penalty for using the undo button?
No, undo simply reverses the last action without any score penalty or card penalty.
