How to Play FreeCell Solitaire
Play FreeCell Solitaire online for free in your browser. This version was made by the CrazyArcade team and follows the standard rules. All 52 cards are dealt face up into eight columns, seven cards in the first four and six in the rest. Your goal is to move every card to the four foundations at the top right, building each suit from Ace up to King. In the columns you stack cards downward in alternating colors, and any card can fill an empty column. The four free cells at the top left each hold one card while you dig through the columns. A run of cards in alternating colors and descending order can move as a group when there is enough free space. The limit is the number of empty free cells plus one, doubled for each empty column, and an empty column you are moving into does not count. Drag cards with a mouse or finger, or tap a card to send it to a foundation if it fits there, otherwise onto a column, otherwise into a free cell. Cards on the foundations stay there. Every deal has a number from 1 to 32000, built with the same method as the classic numbered FreeCell deals, so a given number always produces the same layout. Start a random game or type a number on the start screen to replay a deal or share it with a friend. Undo takes back moves, Hint highlights a useful move, and Restart replays the current deal from the beginning. Press A to play every card that can go to the foundations, and an Auto Finish button appears once every column is in descending order. The game counts moves and time, and your number of wins, fastest win and fewest moves are saved in your browser.

Pro Tips to Win
- Keep free cells and empty columns open as long as you can, since each one increases how many cards you can move together.
- Free the Aces and low cards early, because they are often buried near the top of the columns and block the foundations.
- An empty column is worth more than a free cell, since it doubles the size of the run you can move, so avoid filling one with a single card unless it helps.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are the numbered games the same as the classic FreeCell deals?
A: Yes. Game numbers 1 to 32000 use the same shuffling method as the classic numbered FreeCell deals, so game 1 here has the same layout as game 1 in those versions, and the same number always gives the same deal.
Q: How many cards can I move at once?
A: You can move a run of alternating colors in descending order if its length is no more than the number of empty free cells plus one, doubled for each empty column. When the target is an empty column, that column is not counted.
Q: What is saved between visits?
A: Your total number of wins, your fastest win time, your fewest moves in a win and the last game number you played are saved in your browser. A game in progress is not saved if you close the page.
