About the game

FreeCell is a solitaire variant where you move cards between tableau piles and four temporary 'free cells' to build the foundations up by suit from Ace to King.

How to play

Use the free cells to hold a card temporarily while you rearrange the tableau. Build descending, alternating-color sequences and move completed Aces up to the foundations.

Tips & strategy

['Keep free cells available for critical moves.', 'Empty columns are powerful - use them for Kings.', 'Plan several moves ahead before committing.']

Advanced guide

FreeCell rewards planning. Because nearly every deal is solvable, think before each move: keep at least one free cell in reserve, and use empty columns to shuffle King-led sequences. Build toward emptying a column early, which unlocks the most powerful rearrangements.

History & origins

FreeCell is notable because almost every deal is solvable, making it a favorite logic solitaire.
