About Free Cell Solitaire
This is the classic one-deck solitaire game where every card is dealt face up into eight columns.
Your goal is to move every card onto the four home cells, one pile for each suit, starting with the Ace and ending with the King. Inside the columns you can only place a card on one that is one rank higher and of the opposite color.

The free cells are what make this version work. They are temporary spots where you drop a card to get it out of the way, so you can reach the card buried under it. Fill all four and you lose most of your room to move, which is how a deal usually gets stuck.
Because nothing is face down, luck plays a small part. Almost every problem comes from the order you move cards in, so it pays to look a few moves ahead before you lift a card off a column.
Quick summary
- All cards start face up in eight columns.
- You stack cards down the columns in falling order with colors switching each time.
- You use the four free cells to hold cards while you dig out the ones you need.
- You win when all four suits are built from Ace to King on the home cells.

Tips & tricks
- Keep as many free cells empty as you can, and only use one when it opens up a useful move.
