Freecell

FreeCell — every card face up

The thinking player's solitaire: all 52 cards are dealt face-up, so every game is a pure puzzle and nearly every deal can be won. Numbered deals use the classic Microsoft shuffle, so you can replay famous deal numbers.

How to play FreeCell

Build the foundations from ace to king by suit. In the tableau, stack cards in descending order with alternating colors, and use the four free cells as temporary parking. The more free cells and empty columns you keep open, the more cards you can move at once.

Supermoves, hints, and undo

Move whole sequences in one drag when enough free cells allow it, get a hint when you're stuck, and rewind any mistake with unlimited undo while your times, moves, and win streaks are tracked.

How to Play — Step by Step

1. All 52 cards are dealt face up into eight columns — nothing is hidden, so every move can be planned.
2. Build tableau columns downward with alternating colors, and use the four free cells (top left) to park single cards.
3. Empty columns accept any card; keeping cells and columns open is the key to big moves.
4. You can drag a whole descending run at once when enough free cells and empty columns exist to move it card by card.
5. Send aces to the foundations and build each suit up to the king — double-click sends an eligible card automatically.
6. Win by moving all cards to the foundations. Replay a favorite deal by number, and use Hint/Undo whenever needed.

Strategy Tips

Nearly every deal is winnable with the right plan, so think before you move. Keep free cells open — they're your most valuable resource. Get aces and twos up early, work toward emptying a column, and avoid burying low cards you'll need soon under higher ones.
