An introduction to playing FreeCell
Look at the complete hand before deciding. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Use another round to revisit a decision. Use the rule sheet as a reference. Build down in alternating colours; four cells each hold one card. Empty columns accept any legal group. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
One face-up deck. Transfer capacity counts available cells and spare empty columns. Free solo play, no wagering.
Practice with a purpose
Use the rule sheet as a reference. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
What you are aiming for
Build four suit foundations from ace to king. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. Work at your own pace.
Start here and follow along
- Build down in alternating colours; four cells each hold one card. Empty columns accept any legal group.
- Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
- Move exposed cards onto suit foundations in the stated rank order.
- Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.
Making selections and moves
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Use another round to revisit a decision. Use the rule sheet as a reference.
One way to understand the rules
With two empty cells and no spare empty column, a group of at most three cards can move together. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
Watch out for this
Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Use another round to revisit a decision.
