How to play FreeCell Solitaire in a few minutes
Indulge in FreeCell Solitaire and experience a single-player game with mind-stimulating capabilities. The process of decision-making in complicated situations is a fun challenge that your mind will thank you for. Playing FreeCell, while seemingly simple, can demand all your attention — but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. In fact, FreeCell taking up all your thinking space makes it the perfect boredom-alleviating, brain-developing exercise.
FreeCell Solitaire can help you connect better with real-life problems. Winning requires sheer skill, not luck, and the more you play, the more you’ll hone your winning strategies. While the stress of mysterious face-down cards in other Solitaire variations can make you anxious, you won’t have that problem with FreeCell.
Yet the challenge is just as staggering and enjoyable with a fully revealed deck of cards and no unseen curveballs! If you dislike surprises, FreeCell Solitaire might just be your game of choice.
Welcome to the tremendously popular FreeCell Solitaire, a game designed to relieve stress with pure logical challenges.
FreeCell Solitaire boasts a layout of all face-up cards in a straightforward fashion that beckons any Solitaire fan to come and play. But wait! There’s a challenge to all the openness. This game is all about directing your moves to lead your cards to their Foundation piles. Easy, right? Well, look closer at the layout and you’ll see that there’s a subtle madness to the simplicity.
The largest section of the layout is the tableau, with eight columns of stacked cards. A deck of 52 cards in a game is dealt almost equally into the columns. The first four columns have 7 cards each, and the next four columns have 6 cards each. All the cards are face-up. That’s right — there are no face-down cards to reveal!
These are space holders that can temporarily hold cards, one in each cell, while you organize your stacks. Don’t just regard these Free Cells nonchalantly. When you start playing, you will wish you had more than just four of them! Moving cards to the Free Cells requires some careful planning. Think a few steps ahead before you decide to move a card to the Free Cell. A thoughtless move could prove to be a costly mistake, so be careful!
There are four Foundation slots available in Free Cell Solitaire to hold the four suits of your 52-card deck in ascending order. Your Foundation is regarded as the home base for your cards.
There is no Stockpile or Wastepile in FreeCell. This translates to no redeals when accessing a disposable stash of cards. Instead, our trusty UNDO button will be a lifesaver when you make a wrong move.
Organize cards on the Tableau in their respective suits, in alternating colors, AND in descending order.
Don’t fear! Our UNDO button will save you in a world where undo’s usually aren’t possible.

As soon as they are free, move your Aces and their corresponding Twos (and Threes) to the Foundation. This strategy will free up the rest of your cards to move home as soon as they are free.
Remember, the end goal of the game is to organize all the cards on the Tableau into the Foundation piles. Planning and strategizing a few moves ahead will help you free up jailed cards, free up the Free Cells, and promptly move cards to the Foundation.
While freeing up your Aces should be your top priority, remember there are other cards to follow too. Refrain from focusing solely on Aces or a single card and getting locked in the process.
While the end goal is to move the cards to the Foundation, moving them all may lock other moves from execution. Limit yourself to moving only the Aces, Twos, and Threes at first.
