Player guide
Keep at least one free cell open
A free cell helps you reach buried cards, but filling all four cells limits the sequences you can move. Open an empty tableau column before committing the last free cell.
- Move Aces and low cards to the foundations when they no longer block a useful sequence.
- Empty tableau columns increase the number of cards you can move together.
- Use Undo to compare two moves without restarting the deal.
FreeCell strategy
Empty columns are more useful than they look
An empty column can hold any card or valid sequence. It also increases how many ordered cards can move together, so clearing a column often matters more than sending one extra card to a foundation.
- Check what a move uncovers before filling an empty column.
- Do not send a low card to a foundation if you still need it to hold the opposite color.
- Free a trapped Ace early when the move does not consume your last open cell.
