Some Solitaire facts I recently discovered that surprised me

I was recently reading about the history of Solitaire and came across a few facts that I honestly didn’t expect.

• Solitaire was originally added to early Windows mainly to help people learn how to use a mouse (dragging and dropping cards).

• For a long time, Solitaire was one of the most played computer games in the world.

• In the 1990s, some workplaces actually blocked Solitaire because employees were spending too much time playing it.

• The classic version most people know is Klondike Solitaire, but there are actually hundreds of different Solitaire variations.

I always thought it was just a simple card game to pass time, but its history and impact on early computer users is actually pretty interesting.
