A couple of years ago I was looking over the used guitar section of a local guitar shop. There on the wall was a Les Paul model that looked a little different and older than the others.

My wife enjoys solitaire on her iPad. I worked up this simple version for the web so she could play it without advertisements and from any device that could access the web from a browser. You can enjoy it too! If you’ve never played, this may help you learn. It is included in the game just a button click away.

I had written a Swift/SwiftUI version but never released it. The premise is simple, slide the tiles into order to complete the puzzle.
