Common Mistakes to Avoid in Solitaire

Rushing Your Moves

One of the most common mistakes is making moves without proper planning. Take time to analyze the board and consider all possible consequences of each move.

Ignoring Empty Columns

Empty columns are valuable resources in Solitaire. Many players miss opportunities by not utilizing empty spaces effectively for temporary card storage.

Building Foundations Too Early

Moving cards to the foundation piles too quickly can limit your options. Sometimes it's better to keep certain cards in play for more flexibility.

Not Exposing Hidden Cards

Prioritize moves that reveal face-down cards. The more information you have about your available cards, the better decisions you can make.

Overlooking Alternative Moves

Don't settle for the first valid move you see. Take time to scan the entire tableau for potentially better options that might open up more possibilities.
