Carpet Easy Solitaire

Carpet Easy modifies the standard Carpet layout or rules to give you more winning chances. The automatic stock refilling and simple foundation-building mechanic remain, but relaxed conditions mean more carpet cards can reach foundations before the stock runs out.

How to Play Carpet Easy Solitaire

Layout

20 cards are dealt face-up in a 4×5 grid (the "carpet"). Four foundation piles sit to the side. The remaining 28 cards form the stock pile.

Objective

Build all four foundations from Ace to King by suit.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Move any Ace from the carpet to start a foundation pile.
2. Build foundations up by suit: Ace, 2, 3, 4 … Queen, King.
3. Any card from the carpet can be played to a foundation if it fits.
4. When a carpet space is empty, the next card from the stock pile automatically fills it.
5. If no carpet cards can be played to foundations, draw from the stock to fill empty spaces and try again.
6. Continue until the stock is exhausted and no more plays are possible.

Carpet Easy Solitaire Rules

Scoring System

Carpet Solitaire scores 10 points for each card placed on a foundation. Empty carpet spaces are automatically filled from the stock, so timing your foundation plays to expose useful stock cards is the key to a high score.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

In Carpet, the common mistake is playing foundation cards without checking what the stock will deal next. Since empty carpet spaces fill automatically from the stock, timing matters. Build foundations evenly rather than focusing on one suit.
