Here's a breakdown.

1. How many moves in solitaire is good?

• The number of moves considered "good" in Solitaire—particularly Klondike Solitaire, the most popular version—depends on whether you're playing a standard draw-1 or draw-3 game and whether you're aiming for a high score, fast time, or move efficiency.


• Check the breakdown:



Game Type	Typical Moves to Win	"Good" Move Count (Efficient Play)
Draw 1	100–140 moves	Under 120 moves
Draw 3	130–180+ moves	Under 150 moves

2. Benchmarks for a "Good" Solitaire Game

Under 120 Moves (Draw 1)

• Sign of efficient, strategic play


• Likely involved careful planning and optimal card sequencing


• Typical for experienced players

Under 150 Moves (Draw 3)

• Draw 3 is harder due to limited access to deck cards


• Under 150 suggests smart tableau management and deck cycling

3. Elite or Speedrun-Level Play

• Under 100 moves: Rare, expert-level strategy


• Often achieved by advanced players or those using undo/restart tactics effectively


• More common in replayable or pre-seeded games

4. Be Cautious of:

• Just counting moves isn't enough — in some scoring systems, speed or foundation cards matter more.


• Using undo can reduce move count artificially (but some games penalize it in scoring).

5. Pro Tip:

• If you're consistently winning in 120–150 moves, you're doing well. You can improve further by:


• - Practicing tableau efficiency


• - Memorizing sequences


• - Planning several moves ahead
