What is FreeCell?

FreeCell is an open-card solitaire game played with a single standard deck of fifty-two playing cards. Unlike traditional solitaire where cards start hidden in a stock pile, every card in FreeCell is dealt face-up across eight tableau columns at the start of the deal. The player uses four temporary holding slots known as free cells and four foundation piles to sort all four suits in ascending order from Ace to King. It runs directly in your browser without requiring any downloads or account registration.

Key features

• Full visibility: All cards are dealt face-up from the beginning, removing randomness and making almost every deal solvable.
• Four open cells: Temporary holding spaces let you store single cards to uncover needed ranks beneath them.
• Foundation building: Four dedicated foundation slots require suit sequences built upward from Ace through King.
• Alternating tableau stacks: Columns build downward in alternating red and black suits.
• Cascade moves: Moving sequences of cards depends on how many free cells and empty columns remain open.
• Clean undo system: Built-in undo controls let you step back and test different strategic paths.

How to play

1. Scan the eight tableau columns to identify the locations of all four Aces and low-rank cards.
2. Transfer exposed Aces and low cards directly to the four foundation piles in the upper area.
3. Rearrange cards within the tableau by placing lower cards onto cards of the opposite color and next-highest rank.
4. Park blocking cards temporarily in the four free cells to free up buried cards in the columns below.
5. Clear an entire column to create an empty space, which can hold any single card or valid stack.
6. Build all four foundation piles from Ace up to King to complete the deal.

Card movement and free cell rules

Success in FreeCell relies on managing the four reserve cells and open tableau columns. A single free cell holds exactly one card at a time. The number of cards you can move together as a sequence is strictly limited by the open spaces on the board. The maximum movable group size equals one plus the number of empty free cells, multiplied by two for each empty tableau column. Filling all four free cells too early locks the board and prevents large stack transfers, so keeping at least two cells empty is vital for maintaining mobility.

Tips and strategy

Prioritize clearing Aces and Twos to the foundation piles immediately to open up movement across the columns. Focus on clearing an entire tableau column early in the match, because an empty column provides greater maneuvering flexibility than a single free cell. Never move cards into the free cells without a concrete plan to retrieve them within two or three moves. Keep your foundation piles balanced across all four suits so you do not accidentally strand cards needed to build lower descending sequences in the tableau.
