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.

Calmer animations, the clock and how cards move are under More settings. Changes take effect immediately.
Calmer animations
Cards move with less motion. If your device asks for reduced motion, this stays on.
Text size
Offers small, normal, large, and extra-large interface text.
Card size
Offers ten card sizes where the screen has room, capped at the largest size that fits.
Bolder highlights
Makes the selected card and hints stand out more.
Higher contrast
Darkens muted text and strengthens card edges.
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. If “Move with one click” is on, 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. Restart asks first while “Ask before starting over” is on.
Shortcuts work while the board or the page has focus, not while you type, use a button or a menu, or have a dialog open. To turn them off, open Settings, then More settings, and switch off “Keyboard shortcuts”.
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 or the browser’s Back button, and return focus when closed.
What to expect
Known limits
- On phones and other small touch screens, cards always fill the screen’s width, so card size cannot be changed there.
- 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.
