Clock Solitaire is a quick reveal puzzle shaped like a clock face. On SolitaireHot it is ideal for short breaks: follow the chain of ranks, watch which piles still hide cards, and hope the fourth King does not end the game too early.
How a round plays
Cards are dealt into twelve hour piles plus a center. You reveal cards and place them by rank. Tension comes from the Kings in the center — typically the fourth King ends the deal before everything is face up.
What to watch
Track which hour piles still contain face-down cards. There is little “clever” reordering compared with FreeCell; focus and calm tracking matter more than multi-step plans.
Who Clock is for
- Players who want a two-minute break between harder games.
