What is FreeCell?

FreeCell is a solitaire game where you build all 52 cards onto four foundation piles. Every card is dealt face up, so skill and planning matter far more than luck, and almost every deal can be won. It is a great quick puzzle you can replay again and again.

How to play FreeCell

  1. Goal: complete the four foundations

    Build each suit on the four foundations at the top left, from Ace up to King. Once all 52 cards are on the foundations, you win.

  2. Move cards between columns

    On the eight columns, stack cards in descending order and alternating colors. For example, a red 7 can go on a black 8. Any card can be placed in an empty column.

  3. Park cards in the free cells

    The four free cells at the top right each hold a single card temporarily. Use them to get out of a jam, and empty them again as soon as you can.

  4. Move several cards at once

    A run of alternating-color cards can be moved together. The maximum is (empty free cells + 1) × 2 to the power of the number of empty columns.

  5. Send cards up and double-tap

    Drag a card, or tap it and then tap where it should go. Double-click (or double-tap) a card to send it to a foundation or the nearest legal spot automatically.
