Pyramid Solitaire Strategy: Clear the Pyramid Faster

Pyramid Solitaire is a game of pattern recognition and resource management. The pyramid looks intimidating, but with the right approach you can clear it more often than not.

Kings Are Free: Grab Them First

Since Kings remove themselves with a single click, start there. Each King you remove exposes the cards underneath, opening up more pairs. Clear the easy wins early and the rest becomes simpler.

Don't Neglect the Waste Pile

The waste pile is your secret weapon. You can pair waste cards with each other as well as with the pyramid. Keep track of what's in the waste; sometimes the pair you need is right there.

Think Ahead Before Drawing

Before you click the stock, check if any exposed pyramid card pairs with the top waste card. If it does, grab that pair first; you might uncover something even better before you draw.

Clear From the Bottom Up

Cards at the base of the pyramid block everything above them. Removing base pairs early keeps options open. If a card is covered, focus on whatever is covering it first.
