Canfield is a single-deck solitaire game with only an 8% win rate, featuring a 13-card reserve pile, four tableau columns, and a stock pile. Foundation piles begin on a randomly chosen rank rather than Ace, and all four suits must build upward from that rank, wrapping from King back to Ace as needed.

Carpet is a solitaire game with a 55% win rate, played with one 52-card deck. The four Aces are removed before play and placed on foundations. Twenty cards form a face-up 4x5 grid called the carpet. Carpet cards move to foundations when they fit, and gaps refill from the stock.

Forty Thieves is a two-deck solitaire game with only a 10% win rate, dealing 40 cards face-up into ten tableau columns. Players build eight foundation piles from Ace to King by suit, moving one card at a time in same-suit descending sequences. It is among the most difficult classic solitaire variants.

Klondike is the most widely recognized solitaire card game, played with a single 52-card deck. Approximately 82% of deals are winnable with optimal play. Cards are dealt into seven tableau columns of increasing length. The objective is to build four foundation piles from Ace to King by suit, moving cards between columns.

La Belle Lucie is a classic patience game with a 10% win rate, played with one 52-card deck. All 52 cards deal into seventeen fans of three, plus one single-card fan. Only the outermost card of each fan is playable. Foundations build Ace to King by suit. Two redeals allowed. Empty fans cannot be refilled.

Scorpion is a single-deck solitaire game with an 8% win rate across seven tableau columns. The goal is to build four complete King-to-Ace sequences by suit within the tableau itself, with no separate foundations. Any face-up card plus all cards on top may move together when the bottom card matches suit and rank.

Sir Tommy is one of the oldest recorded patience games, played with one 52-card deck and a 45% win rate. Cards deal one at a time onto one of four tableau waste piles. Foundations build Ace to King regardless of suit. Cards cannot move between piles and no redeal is allowed, making every placement permanent.

TriPeaks is a single-deck solitaire game with a 55% win rate where 28 cards form three overlapping pyramid peaks above a row of face-up cards. Players clear peaks by moving cards one rank higher or lower than the waste pile top card, drawing from stock when stuck. The goal is to clear all tableau cards.

Yukon is a single-deck solitaire variant with a 25% win rate, similar to Klondike but with no stock pile. Columns 2-7 have face-down cards beneath face-up cards. Players move any face-up card or sequence — regardless of order — between tableau columns to build four foundation piles from Ace to King by suit.
