How to Play

Play Gaps Solitaire online for free. Gaps Solitaire is a popular Solitaire video game where players reorganize the cards in sequential suited order across a grid of 4 rows with 13 columns in it. Aces are dealt with the rest of the deck & then immediately removed to create gaps to allow other card moves. Place cards in the open gaps where they are same suit and sequentially higher than the card to the left. Build royal flushes in each row starting with the 2 and working your way up to King. This game is rendered in mobile-friendly HTML5, so it offers cross-device gameplay. You can play it on mobile devices like Apple iPhones, Google Android powered cell phones from manufactures like Samsung, tablets like the iPad or Kindle Fire, laptops, and Windows-powered desktop computers.

        Game Play
        Deal
        All cards are dealt randomly to a grid of 4 rows with 13 columns.
        The Aces are dealt as spacers, then are immediately removed from the board to create the gaps which enable other moves.
        Playing
        Move cards to gaps in the field where the card is same suit and one value higher than the card to its left.
        The border of cards which have valid moves are highlighted.
        As you move a card you fill in a gap but create another one, which may enable other plays.
        You can always move a 2 to the leftmost position on a row if it is open.
        2 cards go in the leftmost positions in each row & then you try to build a royal flush in ascending order from left to right.
        You can use any of the 4 rows for any suit, though when you start a suit you must follow it for it to be valid.
        Once a card is in its correct position and is in sequence in a row which contains the 2 in the leftmost column that card will not move again unless you manually choose to (though wanting to is rather rare, since putting it out of position means you later have to put it back into position).
        When you can not make any more moves the cards which are not yet in correct ascending suited order starting with a 2 are reshuffled.
        You get up to 3 shuffles per game.
        Levels
        This is a single level game with a 10-minute time limit.
        Strategy
        2 cards
        Try to get the 2 cards to the leftmost column as early as you can in the game.
        When they are in place the game will not shuffle them on shuffles.
        Any card which is in the correct sequential ascending order behind them in sequence also will not shuffle.
        Choosing which 2 card to play in which row is one of the most important choices you can make in this game as many moves are rather automated or have limited optionality, but which 2 you choose enables a vastly different sequence of subsequent moves.
        Kings
        Kings act sort of like roadblocks in this game as you can’t put a card after them since they are the highest valued card.
        This means you should try to minimize creating gaps behind the Kings unless you know you will soon be able to move the King to another position.
        Move order
        If a card has a gap behind it and is also glowing it helps to look at the subsequent moves which are enabled or disabled by either moving the higher value card behind it before moving it, or by moving it without moving the higher card first.
        Once you already have a couple spaces behind Kings and your moves are more limited try to think multiple steps ahead with each move to see which subsequent moves are enabled or disabled by making the particular move.
        Scoring
        Each card you put into its proper position is worth 10 points.
        Depending how the cards are dealt (and re-dealt on shuffles) this can lead to a max card-based score of around 480 to 520.
        The time-based bonus is capped at 600 points.
        Each second you have have remaining when you beat the game is worth a point.
        Each move you make costs you 6 points.
        A good move count is around 100 moves, though it depends on the board layout.
        Target Audience
        The game is suited for players who like Solitaire card games.
        The game has no adult themed content.
