Playing Solitaire Turn-3 — The Layout

The Solitaire Turn-3 game has a similar layout to Turn-1 except for the number of cards revealed from the Stockpile. The game requires a deck of 52 cards, divided between the Stockpile and the Tableau. The objective of the game is similar to Turn-1 and requires arranging cards in the Foundation piles from Ace to King. Your challenge is not in the revealed Stockpile cards but in the usability of those cards.

There are four main areas in the Solitaire Turn-3 layout.

  • 1.The Tableau

    The main play area is the Tableau, with 28 cards stacked across seven columns. From the left, each column has an ascending number of cards. The first column has one card, the second has two cards, and the order goes on till the seventh column has seven cards. Only the first card is face-up in each column, whereas the other cards are face-down.

  • 2.The Stockpile

    The remaining 24 cards from the deck make up the Stockpile. When drawing from the Stockpile, you will notice the main difference between the Turn-1 and Turn-3 versions. In the Turn-3 Solitaire version, clicking on the Stockpile reveals three cards instead of one. However, you can use only the top card of the three revealed. You can continue playing all three cards drawn consecutively, or you can draw again from the Stockpile.

  • 3.The Waste Pile

    Cards from the Stockpile go into the Wastepile. From here, you can use the cards in the Tableau or draw more from the Stockpile to the Wastepile. Once all the cards from the Stockpile are drawn, the Wastepile is turned over and becomes the new Stockpile.

    The Waste Pile
  • 4.The Foundation

    This section consists of four empty cells at the start of the game. As the game progresses, you must arrange all four suits in the Foundation piles from Ace to King.

  • 2.Start playing Solitaire Turn-3 by organizing the cards in the Tableau columns in descending order. However, remember that the colors must alternate when arranging them in the Tableau. You can move cards either one at a time or in a sequence. The more cards you organize, the more face-down cards you can reveal when playing. Soon you might even clear an entire column. However, don’t fill it up with just any sequence of cards! Instead, strategize and make your moves wisely.

  • 3.Out of Tableau moves? No problem! Reach into your Stockpile for a fresh set of revealed cards to start organizing. In Solitaire Turn-3, you get three cards at a time instead of one card. However, you can only use the topmost card that you draw, although you can continue to play the next cards consecutively once you play that top card. If a card is not useful, you can draw from the Stockpile again for three more cards. Peeking at a few cards at a time opens up strategic possibilities when playing. If you remember the cards revealed when drawing from the Stockpile, you can plan many moves in advance!

Winning Tips and Quirky Tricks

  • First Tackle The Big Columns

    Avoid getting overwhelmed. First, take down the largest columns with face-down cards. 

  • Pick The Color of Your King

    If you’ve recently emptied a column, don't rush to place just any King in it. Place a red King if you have a black Queen and red Jack. If not, place a black King.

  • Spread Out Your Tableau

    Don’t focus on just a single column. Instead, aim to spread your cards between all the columns to free up more cards to organize.

  • Use Our Undo Button to Keep Playing

    Our UNDO button is perfect for when you make errors. This feature gives you a chance to keep your game going.
