Freecell
About Freecell
Freecell is the classic solo card game played with a full deck dealt face up into eight columns. Your goal is to move every card to the four foundation piles, sorted by suit from ace to king. Unlike many card games, almost every deal can be solved with careful planning and patience.
How to play Freecell
Cards deal into eight tableau columns. Build sequences in the columns by placing cards in descending order, alternating colors. Use the four free cells to temporarily hold single cards while you rearrange the tableau. Move cards to the foundations by suit, starting with the ace and building up to the king. Empty columns and free cells give you more room to maneuver.
Tips for playing Freecell
- Empty out a column early when you can - it gives you a flexible spot to shuffle cards around.
- Try not to fill all your free cells at once, since that limits your options for later moves.
- Look for aces and low cards buried in columns and plan moves that free them up first.
