Winnable deals and hints
Not every shuffled deal of solitaire can be won. Most of the solitaire games have a Winnable switch. Klondike, FreeCell, Canfield and their relatives then keep shuffling until the solver proves a board can be won, and deal an ordinary shuffle only if they run out of tries. Aces and Kings and the Forty Thieves, Yukon and Spider games deal from a list of boards the solver has already proved can be won.
The solitaire games, Mahjong, Sudoku and Hangman also have a Hint button for when you are stuck.
Daily boards and your record
Signing in adds a daily board for the solitaire games, Mahjong, Sudoku and Hangman: the same deal for everyone that day. Your account keeps a record of the boards you play, with your totals, your streak and your achievements.
Online tables
Some games can also be played with other people at online tables, which need an account.
Languages
Every page is in English, German, Spanish, French, Russian and Bulgarian. The names of the games stay in English.
