Link to a good solitare site for download?

[Baitball Blogger]

I love a good mindless game of solitare to relax, but don't seem to have one available on this computer. Hesitant to download one from the net without recommendations.

Not looking for anything fancy. The standard game is fine with me.

1. Please tell us what Operating System you are running and if you prefer a particular version

of solitare.

3. Windows 10

Just the traditional version would be fine.

2. I have one I like a lot, but it doesn't have an address.

I was poking around, trying to figure out a way to give it to you, but I couldn't.

It's part of Windows, I think.

Sorry!

4. I don't know why it didn't come with this computer.

I have Windows 10. Should be a given. But I type in "Solitaire" in Cortana and it takes me to the net.

5. That IS weird. I'm sorry!

I routinely relax playing Solitaire.

Sometimes when I can't sleep, I'll play and it relaxes me.

8. I think I stumbled on it.

Not sure if I'm playing off the net, or if the program was available from the Microsoft graphic menu - which I never use.

11. I find it relaxing, yet compelling

I have to admit I'm sort of addicted. I play Spider Solitaire just about every day. I had a TIA about a decade ago and I think playing has actually helped me to get my brain back.

13. I am definitely addicted!

In fact, I just finished another game!

I'm glad you were helped recover from your TIA by playing it. Talk about an easy therapy!

6. They want to force you to go to the Windows Store in 10. Fortunately...

there's a lot of free solitaire versions there.

7. Try searching for sol.exe

MS to my knowledge has never named the file solitaire.exe (but as I don't have Win10 (and don't care to) I can't confirm this)

9. I think I found it. Not sure how I stumbled on it, but I'll look for the

file if I can't access the program the next time. Thanks!

10. It's free at the Microsoft Store for Win 10 if that's what you're running

It's Klondike, comes in a pack with Free Cell, Pyramid, TriPeaks, and Spider, "Microsoft solitaire collection."

Yeah, I missed it too when I switched over. Bastards.

12. Google "Solitaire"

A game pops up and just tap to play. Only 2 options -- easy or traditional.

a few other Google Search games listed here:

14. I have one from Brainiac...

...on my iPhone. Not sure if you can get that on a laptop. Nice basic setup, and you can undo a move if you want to.

My current best time is 1 minute 43 seconds.
