Free · No sign-up · Desktop & mobile
FreeCell is a classic card game where all 52 cards are face up from the start. You work through eight columns, building descending runs in alternating colours and using the four free cells to open space. It feels calm at first, then turns into careful planning. With undo, hint, and automatic foundation moves, it is easy to learn and worth replaying when you want a clear, logic-first card game.
How to play
Move cards by dragging them between the eight columns. Cards must be placed in descending order and in alternating colours. If you need temporary space, park one card in a free cell. Use the free cells to uncover blocked cards and to break up long runs. Safe cards move to the foundations automatically. Keep an eye on how many free cells and empty columns you have, because that controls how many cards you can move together. If a plan stalls, use undo and try a different order.

Progression
FreeCell rewards planning more than speed. In longer sessions, focus on freeing columns and keeping your reserve of open cells intact. The more empty space you protect, the easier it is to move longer sequences and untangle crowded positions. A good habit is to look for cards that can safely go to the foundations, especially low cards that no longer help your columns. Do not rush to fill every free cell unless it solves a real block. If a deal feels tight, step back, use undo, and search for a move that opens a column or exposes a useful card. Most deals can be won, but only if you keep options open.

FAQ
What makes FreeCell different from other card games on this page?
FreeCell starts with all 52 cards face up, so you can see the whole deal from the beginning. You work through eight columns, building descending runs in alternating colours, while the four free cells give you temporary space to reorganize the layout.
How do the four free cells in FreeCell help me clear blocked cards?
The free cells are temporary parking spaces for one card each. Use them to uncover blocked cards and to break up long runs. Keeping them open for as long as possible gives you more room to plan your next moves.
What do automatic foundation moves do in FreeCell?
Safe cards move to the foundations automatically. That means once a card can be sent there without creating a problem, the game handles it for you. This helps keep the columns cleaner and reduces extra manual steps while you plan ahead.
How many cards can I move together in FreeCell, and what affects that?
The number of cards you can move together depends on how many free cells and empty columns you have. More open space gives you more flexibility for longer sequences, so clearing a column early can make later moves much easier.
When should I use undo or hint in FreeCell?
Use undo if a plan stalls or if you want to test a move before committing to it. Hint can help when you are unsure what to do next. Both are meant to support careful planning rather than fast play.
