Solitaire turn 3 is the traditional, harder Klondike: the stock turns over three cards at a time and only the top one can be played. Each deal is checked by a solver for draw three, undo is unlimited and hints follow a winning line when one is found. No app, no sign-up, no interstitial before play; it works offline and from the keyboard.

In Turn 3 you see only every third card on a pass, unless you play from the waste and shift the order. Learning to shift it on purpose is what separates wins from losses.
With 24 cards in the stock and no waste plays, the same eight cards come to the top pass after pass. Every card you take from the waste moves all later cards one step, so different cards come up next time. If a pass shows nothing useful, one waste play, even a dull one, can open the deck up.
Before you play a waste card, think about what it does to the next pass: the card beneath may be exactly what you need, or taking it may push a needed card out of reach. At 20 points per recycle, going through once just to look is fine.
Because stock cards are harder to reach, the tableau must do more of the work. Uncover face-down cards early, keep a landing spot for each colour, and do not send cards up until the tableau no longer needs them.
The deal was checked for draw three, not draw one, so a Winnable mark here means a win exists with three-card draws. Hints show the next move of that line when it is still reachable from your position.
Turn 3 keeps its own stats: played, won, win rate, best and average time, and best score. The timer starts on your first move and pauses when the page is hidden. Undo is unlimited, the first two hints in each game are free, and a deal's puzzle code replays it with ?p= in the address.
The three-card waste fan stays readable on a phone, and the whole game can be played with the arrow keys, Enter, D to draw and F to send a card up. Tidy Puzzles runs entirely in your browser: there is no app to install, no account to create and no interstitial before you can play. After the first visit the game also works offline, because each puzzle is generated on your device from a seed. Every board can be played with the keyboard alone, on a phone or a desktop, and your stats and unfinished puzzles stay in this browser rather than on a server.
Klondike where the stock turns over three cards at a time and only the top one is playable. It is also called draw three.
On each pass only every third card reaches the top of the waste, so a card you need can stay hidden unless you change the order by playing from the waste.
Each recycle costs 20 points in Turn 3, and passes are unlimited. The score never goes below zero.
The solver checks each deal for draw three before you see it. In our tests about 19 deals in 20 are proven and marked "Winnable".
