Solitaire scoring
Solitaire scoring is not universal. Different computer editions have used points, time bonuses or casino-style systems, so a score from one game cannot always be compared with another.
The short version
Velvet Solitaire does not calculate a player score. It shows the move count and an optional timer during the deal; the best target is therefore a completed table, with moves and time used only as personal reference points.
Key points
- Treat a win as the primary result instead of chasing a scoring formula that is not present.
- Compare move counts only under the same rules and draw mode.
- Use the timer as an optional challenge, not as proof that every fast move was strategically sound.
