Ooooo I started off clicking slowly, then realized you can drag your finger around and go nuts. This is so satisfying!

I almost wonder if this was the same common glitch and they were just like...whoa that looks cool let's just ship it.

Same, afaik it was a case of not rendering correctly and in all versions since they just went with it. Cant find a source though...

I got to level 100 in the latest version of solitair and then never played it again. The ads became too much.

Solitaire has ads now?!

Oh yes. Integrated with Xbox account, levels, achievements, daily challenges, ads, collectibles , badges and a subscription to remove the ads. It perfectly represents everything that's wrong with modern software.
