How to play FreeCell

Use the four free cells as temporary storage while you build alternating-color columns and move complete suits to the foundations.

Play a round

  1. Scan the fully visible deal before moving anything and identify low cards that can reach their foundations early.
  2. Build tableau columns downward in alternating colors. A free cell can hold one card while you rearrange a blocked sequence.
  3. Empty tableau columns act like extra workspaces and can hold a card or a legal packed sequence.
  4. Move every suit from ace through king to the four foundations to solve the deal.

Strategy for this version

  • Treat each occupied free cell as reduced moving capacity. Keep at least one open whenever the board gives you another option.
  • Opening a tableau column is usually more valuable than filling a free cell because the column can hold an entire movable run.
  • Build foundations evenly enough that low cards of one color do not trap the opposite-color cards needed in the tableau.
  • Work backward from buried aces and twos, planning where every blocking card will go before starting a long sequence.
