FreeCell: learn through an example
Before making a move, check the cards in view. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. A clear plan starts with the current position. Build down in alternating colours; four cells each hold one card. Empty columns accept any legal group. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
One face-up deck. Transfer capacity counts available cells and spare empty columns. Free solo play, no wagering.
One thing to notice as you play
Work at your own pace. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Use another round to revisit a decision.

Start here and follow along
- Build down in alternating colours; four cells each hold one card. Empty columns accept any legal group.

Controls
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. Take a moment to read the table.
A useful example
With two empty cells and no spare empty column, a group of at most three cards can move together. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
Keep this in mind
For a calm first round, focus on one decision. 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.
