New Icon for upcoming app refresh, fixed some bugs, removed Twitter integration and updated the minimum iOS version to 15.6.

One Handed Solitaire (also known as Accordion Solitaire) is a unique card game optimized for mobile portrait mode. The goal is to reduce the entire deck to a single pile by moving cards onto others of the same suit or rank that are one or three positions to the left. Its vertical layout makes it perfect for playing with one hand while on the move. The game features various difficulty settings, customizable card backs, and detailed statistics to track your win-loss ratio and best times.

Our Expert Score

79/100

One Handed Solitaire is a clever reimagining of the classic card game, specifically designed for people on the go. If you've ever tried to play Klondike on a crowded bus, you know the struggle. This game solves that by focusing on a layout and mechanic that truly only requires one thumb.

The logic is slightly different from standard Solitaire, which keeps it feeling fresh. It’s more of a puzzle than a traditional card game, requiring you to think several moves ahead about which cards to discard to clear the deck. The minimalist UI and fast animations make it an excellent choice for short bursts of play. It’s a smart, space-efficient take on a timeless classic.

Tips & Walkthrough

The Three-Card Rule

The key to winning is looking at the card exactly three spots to the left. If it matches in suit or rank, move it! This creates a 'collapse' effect that can clear large sections of the board quickly. Don't just focus on the immediate neighbor.

Planning Your Moves

Avoid moving a card if it will trap another card you need. Try to keep cards of the same suit near each other to ensure you have a 'path' to move them back toward the beginning of the pile.

Q&A

No, it's based on Accordion Solitaire, which uses a single row of cards and focuses on rank/suit matching to condense the deck.

This is probably my all-time favorite solitaire game. I played this all the time when I was a kid so I’ve been playing for 50+ years. This is the perfect version of that classic game.

Love it!

Love the game but whenever I get a high score it connects me to twitter and then the App Store. I don't have a twitter account so that's kind of annoying. Please fix!
