About Solitaire.cx
Solitaire.cx is a free solitaire site. The game runs in your browser, with no download and no account needed to play. This page explains who works on it and how the rules and strategy guides are put together.
Who writes the guides
The guides are written and edited by Sam R., who has spent years playing Klondike, FreeCell, Spider and a long list of less common patience games. The aim is plain. Explain a game the way you would to someone sitting next to you at the table, get the rules exactly right, and leave out the filler. Every guide is reviewed and dated, and it gets updated when the game or the rules it describes change.
How we write them
A few rules keep the writing honest. We use the real names for the parts of the game, so the stock, the waste, the tableau and the foundations are called what they are. The screenshots come from this site, not from a stock photo library, so what you see in a guide is what you get when you play. If a sentence sounds like marketing rather than a person explaining a card game, it gets cut.
We also try not to overstate what solitaire is. It is a quiet game you can pick up for five minutes or an hour. The guides are here to make it easier to learn and a little easier to win, and that is all they claim to do.
How the game is built
The game is free and stays in the browser. There is no installer, no sign up wall in front of the cards, and your current deal is saved on your own device so you can come back to it. An account is optional and only matters if you later want scores saved across devices or a place on the leaderboards. We care about the game being easy to read and calm to play, which is why there are large card sizes, a high contrast deck and no timer pushing you along.
