How to play TriPeaks Solitaire

The board is 28 cards laid out as three overlapping peaks. Cards that are still covered stay face down, and the bottom row starts face up. Below the peaks sit a 23-card stock and one card that starts the pile.

Tap any face-up card whose rank is exactly one higher or one lower than the top card of the pile. Suit never matters. When you clear the cards covering a face-down card, it flips over and becomes playable.

When nothing fits, tap Draw to turn the next stock card onto the pile. Clear all 28 peak cards to win. If the stock is empty and no card plays, the round ends.

TriPeaks rules and scoring here

Ranks wrap around, so an Ace plays on a King and a King plays on an Ace. This matches the way TriPeaks is usually played.

Each deal is one pass through the stock, and there is no undo. Playing cards back to back builds a combo, and a draw resets it. You earn Neons on every play, plus bonuses for clearing a peak's top card and for clearing the whole board.

Hint suggests a play, and prefers the move that turns over the most new cards. New deal starts over whenever you like.

TriPeaks tips

• Uncover face-down cards first. A play that flips a new card gives you more options than one that doesn't.
• When you have a choice, follow the direction with more cards left. If many 9s and 10s are still out, go up from an 8 rather than down.
• Long combos come from patience. Before tapping, trace how far the current pile card can carry you.
• Don't draw while you still have a play, even a short one. Each stock card is a resource you cannot get back.
• Clear the peak tips when you can. They are the last cards on each peak and often the hardest to reach late in a deal.

What is the difference between TriPeaks and Golf Solitaire?

Both build a pile one rank up or down. In TriPeaks the cards sit in three peaks and many start face down; in Golf every card is face up in seven columns.
