Instructions: Use your mouse to play this game.
FreeCell Solitaire Classic plays the familiar card game by the book. Every card has to end up on a foundation, Aces first, and the four free cells are there to help you untangle the columns on the way. Our Solitaire page lists it with the other card games.
FreeCell has a reputation for rewarding careful thinking, since nearly every deal can be won. This HTML5 version runs on desktops and on handheld screens alike.
Rules of FreeCell
All cards start face up in eight columns. Build the columns downward, alternating red and black. Store one card per free cell while you dig out the ones you need. Each foundation grows in one suit from Ace to King, and the game is won once all four are complete.
FreeCell strategy
- Treat the free cells as a last resort and keep them open.
- Dig for buried Aces and Twos first, the foundations start with them.
- A cleared column lets you shift longer sequences, so work toward one.
