FreeCell Solitaire
Almost every deal is winnable — FreeCell is pure strategy with virtually no luck involved.
How to play
FreeCell is the rare solitaire game where skill almost always wins. Every card is dealt face-up from the start, and computer analysis of over 8 million deals confirms that 99.999% are solvable with correct play — only 8 deals out of the first million are provably unsolvable. There's no hidden card, no unlucky flip; just you, the board, and the solution waiting to be found.
The setup
Eight tableau columns hold all 52 cards face-up. Four free cells and four foundation piles sit in the top row.
Moving to foundations
Move cards to the foundations in suit order from Ace to King. Double-click a card to auto-send it to the correct foundation when a valid slot is open.
Tableau sequences
Stack cards in descending rank and alternating colors (a black 6 on a red 7). Click a card — or the start of a valid sequence — to select it, then click the destination.
Free cells
Each free cell holds exactly one card. Use them to temporarily park cards you can't place elsewhere. A free cell card can move to any valid tableau column or foundation.
Supermove
You can move a multi-card sequence in one click as long as you have enough free cells and empty columns. The limit is (freeCells + 1) × 2^(emptyColumns).
~99.9% of deals are winnable
Unlike Klondike or Spider, a stuck FreeCell game almost never means the deal was unwinnable — it means an earlier move had a better alternative. Use Undo to backtrack and find it. This guarantee is what makes FreeCell so compelling to strategy enthusiasts: every loss is a puzzle still waiting to be solved.
