How to play FreeCell
All 52 cards are dealt face up into eight columns. Move every card to the four foundations, building up by suit from Ace to King.
- In the columns, build down in alternating colours.
- The four free cells (top left) each hold one card temporarily.
- Any card or valid run can go into an empty column.
- Runs are moved as a supermove: you can move up to (free cells + 1) × 2empty columns cards at once — exactly what you could do one card at a time.
Numbered deals
Deals use the classic Microsoft FreeCell numbering, so Game #1 here is the same layout as Game #1 in Windows. Use Game # to play a specific deal (1 – 1,000,000). Almost every deal can be won — #11982 is the famous exception.
Controls
Drag cards, or tap a card to send it to the best destination (foundation, then a column, then a free cell). Safe cards fly to the foundations automatically and the game finishes itself when the rest is trivial. Ctrl+Z/U undo, H hint. Tip: keep free cells empty for as long as possible and try to empty a whole column early.
