FreeCell: rules and examples
Work at your own pace. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. Take a moment to read the table. Build down in alternating colours; four cells each hold one card. Empty columns accept any legal group. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
One face-up deck. Transfer capacity counts available cells and spare empty columns. Free solo play, no wagering.
Give this approach a try
Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
The goal to keep in mind
Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Use another round to revisit a decision. A clear plan starts with the current position.
Work through the instructions
- Build down in alternating colours; four cells each hold one card. Empty columns accept any legal group.
- Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
- Move exposed cards onto suit foundations in the stated rank order.
- Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.
Using the playing area
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Begin with the objective.
One way to understand the rules
With two empty cells and no spare empty column, a group of at most three cards can move together. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
A mistake to avoid
Use the rule sheet as a reference. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
