How to Turn Game Hints On or Off in Solitaire Castle Royal

Q: Do hints cost anything to use?

No. Hints in the Settings menu are a free visual assist feature. They are completely separate from paid boosters or coins.

Q: I turned hints off but a card still got highlighted — why?

Make sure the Hints toggle in Settings shows red (off). If you're still seeing highlights, try closing and reopening the game. If the issue persists, contact Support via Settings (Gear icon → Support) or /email-support.

Q: Will turning hints off affect my score or stars?

No. Whether hints are on or off has no impact on your score, star rating, or any in-game rewards.

Q: Can I get a hint manually mid-game even with auto-hints turned off?

The Hints toggle controls automatic hint highlighting. Check the in-game HUD while playing — some layouts may include a dedicated Hint button that provides a manual nudge independent of the auto-hint setting.

What Hints Do (and Don't Do)

What hints do: After a short pause with no move, the hint system highlights a card that can legally be played to the discard pile, helping you spot moves you might have missed.
What hints don't do: Hints don't play the card for you, choose the optimal strategy, or consume any coins or boosters. They're purely visual suggestions.
Turning hints off: When disabled, no card will ever be highlighted automatically, giving you a clean, unassisted game experience.
