Accessibility
Accessibility at PlaySolitaire
Solitaire should be calm and easy to follow. These controls can make the game clearer to see, easier to operate, and less distracting.
Our scope: This page describes current product behavior. It is not a certification or a promise that every browser and assistive-technology combination will work perfectly.

Play without dragging
Keyboard controls
One Tab stop enters the game board. From there, these controls work across the playable game families.
- ←↑↓→
- Use the arrow keys to move across the board.
- Enter
- Activate the focused card, pile, or destination. With 1-Tap Move enabled, a card may move immediately.
- Esc
- Cancel the current board selection or close an open dialog.
- Space
- Draw or deal when that action is available in the current game.
- HURF
- Hint, Undo, Restart, and Focus mode.
Shortcut availability depends on the game and its current state. Shortcuts do not take over while you are typing or using a control that owns the same key.
Names, updates, and focus
Screen readers and dialogs
Named cards and piles
Interactive cards and piles expose names so they are not presented as unlabeled controls.
Move feedback
During keyboard board interaction, selection, completed-move, invalid-move, and cancellation updates are announced through a polite status region.
Dialog focus
Game dialogs move focus inside, keep Tab focus within the dialog, close with Escape, and return focus when closed.
What to expect
Known limits
- The card-size control is hidden on phones and in short landscape layouts, where cards use a fixed fit.
- Some actions and shortcuts are available only in games that support them.
- Screen-reader behavior can vary because the board uses application-style keyboard interaction.
- We have not certified every browser, device, or named screen reader.
