FreeCell is the thinking person's solitaire — nearly every deal is winnable with the right strategy. Unlike Klondike, all 52 cards are dealt face-up from the start, so there's no hidden information. Every win and every loss comes down to your decisions.
Move all 52 cards to the four foundation piles in the top-right corner. Each foundation builds one suit in ascending order from Ace through King: A → 2 → 3 → … → K.
The board has three areas. The tableau is made up of 8 columns where all cards are dealt face-up. The four free cells in the top-left are temporary parking spots that hold one card each. The four foundations in the top-right are your goal — build each suit from Ace to King.
You can place a card on a tableau column if it is one rank higher and the opposite color. For example, a black 7 goes on a red 8, or a red Queen goes on a black King. Empty columns accept any card. Free cells accept any single card, but each cell holds only one. Cards are automatically sent to foundations when safe.
FreeCell lets you move a stack of properly ordered cards in one action. The maximum stack size depends on your available space: (free cells + 1) × 2^(empty columns). For example, with 3 free cells and 1 empty column, you can move up to 8 cards at once. Managing free cells and empty columns is the core strategic challenge.
You start each game with 500 points. Each move costs 1 point, each undo costs 5 points, and each card sent to a foundation earns 15 points. The goal is to win with the highest score possible — fewer moves means a higher score.
From Beginner to Cyborg ☠ — seven difficulty levels change the number of free cells available, making the supermove calculation progressively tighter.
