Word Solitaire

About the game

Reviewed by the EarnVera team · 9 Nov 2026 · How we review

Word Solitaire replaces the traditional playing cards of a normal deck with word cards and category cards. Each level starts with a partly filled board, and you draw one card at a time from the deck and decide where it should go.

To build a stack you place a category card first, then add every word that belongs to it until the set is complete. The cards match by meaning rather than by letters, so you are looking for associations and hidden connections. It plays like classic solitaire but leans on vocabulary, logic and a little strategy, and suits anyone who enjoys card games and wants a quiet way to exercise their word knowledge.

How to play

1. 1Dive into the world of word solitaire, where traditional playing cards are replaced with word cards and category cards.
2. 2Just like in classic solitaire, each level begins with a partially filled board.
3. 3Draw one card at a time from the deck and place it strategically.
4. 4To build a category stack, you must first place a category card, then add all related word cards to complete the set.

Tips

• Lay down a category card as soon as it appears, so related words have a home.
• Scan the whole board before each draw; a word may fit a set you have forgotten.
• Think about meaning rather than spelling; the cards match by association, not letters.
