What is your favorite free solitaire game for the Fire?  And could you please provide a link.

Thanks.

I had this one and removed it.  This is the one that plays advertisements on youtube while you are trying to play the game.  The 2nd one that I got is FreeCell(Free).  It also has ads, but they are on a side board.  This is an instance where I would gladly pay for the app to avoid the ads.  Not sure which one to get though.

A lot of times you can avoid the ads if you turn wi-fi off before you start playing. Smiley

Thanks for that tip.  I tried to play it on our cruise about 10 days ago and it said that I could not proceed without wifi.  However, it does work here at home with the wifi off.  Seems to be my week for weird computer stuff happening.  I guess I was just getting too complacent.  Lips sealed

Glad it worked for you! I use that trick on a lot of games that have ads. Smiley

I certainly would not mind paying for an ad-free solitaire game.  Any recommendations?  Thanks.

There are no ads on the ones I linked above and it's free too. Smiley

I downloaded a version of solitaire and it must have been bugged, because every time i opened the game, it just started completing itself!

I'll give that freecell version a go, i'll have more games than books at this rate Tongue

I got the "need Internet connection" message again.  It relates to the t mobile ad in the sideboard.  Now I,m not sure if it's the app or some feature on the Fire. I,m going to look at the paid solitaire apps.

Update:  Got the "Aces Solitaire Pack 2" for $2.99.  Lot's of different games and easy to use.  I read the customer reviews and some of the complaints relate to the users not taking advantage of the options.  I'll post back if there any further problems.

there are a few solitaire games I like. 

1.) Montana
2.) Triple Stack
3.) Spit  {but I think this one isn't truly a solitaire game but you play it against the computer}

The ACES Pack 2 has a popup ad saying to buy pack 1 for 60 more puzzles.  Since I bought pack 2 for no ads, this ticks me off.

This is my new "favorite" - addictive, even though I have yet to win a game (probably why it's addictive - games are fairly quick, I keep thinking "next time I'll win!")  Pyramid Solitaire, it's free.

Attention:  My bad.  Aces Pack 2 is fine.  It's a crossword pack that I have that's messed up.  Looks like I'm messed up, too. Grin
