## Description

ABC Solitaire by SZY is a challenging, addictive tile-matching puzzle. Clear the board by removing two identical tiles that lie on the same row or column with no tiles between them, or move a tile to set up a match. You can customize the look with three screen colors, three text-background colors, and two text colors, and you have two chances for both hints and undo. The game also supports auto-save and landscape mode.

It supports multiple languages (Chinese, English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Spanish, Russian and Swedish), lets you share scores via Email, Facebook or Twitter, and tracks progress with leaderboards and achievements for best times, total completions, and stars.

## Review summary

Overall, reviews praise ABC Solitaire for challenging, brain-boosting, and relaxing gameplay that’s addictive and long-lasting, with simple yet deep strategy and a free-to-play model plus an established paid option. However, multiple reviews cite intrusive ads, update-induced regressions that remove or hide features (hints/undo/reshuffle) and make boards harder to win, plus startup and restoration issues. Despite frustrations, players remain loyal and hopeful for improvements.

### Pros

- Challenging and engaging gameplay that keeps the mind active.
- Brain-training and relaxing—great for focus and winding down before bed.
- Addictive with a well-balanced, not-too-long game length.
- Free-to-play with an established paid option (historically no ads in the paid version).
- Simple but deep mechanics that reward forward planning and strategy.

### Cons

- Ads have become intrusive, sometimes hiding UI elements like the Play button.
- Update changes removed or reduced features (hints, undos, reshuffle) and made boards seem unwinnable.
- Stability issues after updates (crashes, freezing, or the app not starting).
- Progress/purchase restoration and access to paid features are unclear after reinstall.
- Confusion over paid vs free versions and ongoing use of ads/subscription options.
