How the ranking works
Best score ranks your best single deal: card points (10 per foundation card, 5 per flipped card or waste play) minus 2 points every 10 seconds, plus a speed bonus when you win. Games won counts every validated Klondike win in Draw 1 and Draw 3.
Validated, honest scores
Each run opens a server session when it starts. When it ends, the server checks how long it took, how many moves it needed and what score the rules allow, so sped-up or invented results never reach the board.

Where the points come from
Each card moved to a foundation is worth +10, each face-down column card you turn over +5 and each card played from the waste to a column +5. Moving a card back down from a foundation costs 15 points, and in Draw 1 every new pass through the deck costs 100. The clock takes 2 points for every full 10 seconds. Card points are capped at 745 per deal, while a win adds a time bonus of 700,000 divided by the seconds played: about 3,889 for a three-minute win or 2,333 for five minutes. On a won deal, speed is by far the biggest part of the score.
Draw 1 and Draw 3
Draw 1 is the relaxed game: unlimited passes through the deck and unlimited undos, but every extra pass costs 100 points. Draw 3 turns three cards at a time and allows three passes and three undos; there is no pass penalty, but a deal can be lost when nothing can move. Both modes feed the same two boards, one best score and one win count. A lost Draw 3 deal can still set your best score with its card points, but only wins add to Games won. Equal scores are separated by the faster time, equal win counts by whoever got there first.
Tips for a better deal
Turn over the face-down cards in the columns as early as you can: each one pays 5 points and opens new moves. In Draw 1, look for every playable card before you recycle the deck, because one extra pass wipes out the value of ten foundation cards. When the deck and waste are empty and every card is face up, an Auto-complete button appears and plays the remaining cards for you. Z undoes a move from the keyboard. Practise on the Solitaire table, try a different kind of puzzle in Water Sort Puzzle, or compare yourself on the Sudoku leaderboard.
