FreeCell: the strategy solitaire

cards All 52 cards are dealt face up, so almost every deal can be won with the right plan. Use the four free cells as parking spots and build the foundations from Ace to King. Free, no download, no sign-up.

How to play

  1. Move cards between columns in descending order and alternating colors.
  2. Park any single card in one of the four free cells at the top left.
  3. You can move a run of cards at once when there are enough free cells and empty columns.
  4. Safe cards fly to the foundations by themselves. Build each suit from Ace to King to win.
