FreeCell

Play FreeCell free online. The thinking player’s solitaire — every card is face up.

How to play FreeCell

Objective: Move all 52 cards to the four foundations, building each suit up from Ace to King.

  1. Build down the columns in alternating colours (a red 6 on a black 7).
  2. Any card can go into an empty free cell or an empty column.
  3. You can move a run of cards at once if there are enough free cells and empty columns to do it one card at a time.
  4. Aces and other safe cards go home automatically (except on Hard).
  5. Undo and Hint are always available.

Scoring

2,500 minus 10 per move and 1 per second (minimum 200).

Difficulty levels

Easy and Normal: four free cells with automatic foundation moves. Hard: only three free cells and no auto-play.

Tips

  • Free the aces and twos first.
  • Empty columns are worth more than free cells.
  • Try not to fill all your free cells at once.
