Both online and offline play are supported in NewPub's Solitaire, a Klondike for phones and tablets. It's a standard take on the game with the usual trimmings, aimed at beginners as much as regulars. Daily Solitaire Challenges give a reason to return, with a crown awarded for each day completed. You can choose 1-card or 3-card draw, use unlimited free hints, keep personal records and compete on a leaderboard against other players. Themes and card designs can be changed, and there's a left-handed mode for comfort. It's free to download.
NewPub's Solitaire supports both online and offline play, which is its distinguishing claim among a crowd of otherwise similar Klondikes. It's a standard version pitched at beginners as much as regulars, for phones and tablets.
Daily Solitaire Challenges award a crown for each completed day. One-card and three-card draw are both offered, hints are free and uncapped, personal records are kept, and a leaderboard ranks you against everyone else. Themes and card designs are swappable, and left-handers get their own layout.
Play a deal offline on the train, then connect later and see where your records sit on the leaderboard. The daily challenge is one deal with a crown attached, and the rest is as many Klondike hands as you want. Hints are free and unlimited, so a stuck position never ends a session.
The leaderboard is the one competitive element, pitting your personal records against other players'. Otherwise it's a straightforward Solitaire with changeable themes and a left-handed option for comfort.
The combination of offline play and an online leaderboard is what gets it noticed; most Solitaires offer one or the other. Beginners are drawn by the explicit welcome and unlimited hints. A 4.7 rating from over 10,000 ratings makes it a credible if less-established alternative to the household-name versions.
Expect a conventional table with a modest set of themes and card designs, plus a leaderboard screen and a daily challenge calendar. Nothing in the description suggests animation flourishes or an unusual visual style. Five screenshots are on the page, which should show the leaderboard and themes alongside play.
Over 10,000 ratings at 4.7 is encouraging but a smaller base than several rivals here. NewPubCo, Inc is the developer; the online leaderboard requires some server upkeep, which is a mild sign of ongoing attention. No version string is available in our data, and only the App Store is linked on this page.
Online-and-offline flexibility
Play anywhere, then sync up to compare records when connected.
Leaderboard competitors
Personal records are ranked against other players.
Nervous beginners
Unlimited free hints and a beginner-friendly pitch lower the barrier.
Rated 4+ and free to download. Ads and in-app purchases aren't mentioned in the listing, so assume they may exist. Offline play is confirmed; the leaderboard needs a connection and may involve some form of account, which the listing doesn't detail.
Storage size and regional restrictions aren't given. The Play Store isn't linked here.
Our take
Choose it if you want a Solitaire that works offline but still lets you measure yourself against others. If leaderboards don't interest you, there are better-rated or more distinctive options in this batch, and if you want Vegas scoring or a dark mode, neither is mentioned here.
