Is every Freecell deal solvable?

Almost every random Freecell deal is solvable — the historical estimate is that about 99.999% of deals have at least one solution. However, solving requires careful strategy.

How do I move multiple cards at once?

You can drag a valid sub-stack (alternating colors, descending values) to another column. The number of cards you can move depends on how many free cells and empty columns are available.

What does double-clicking a card do?

Double-clicking a card automatically moves it to the foundations if a valid placement exists. This speeds up the endgame when many cards are ready to go up.

Can I restart the same deal?

Yes. The restart button lets you replay the same card arrangement from the beginning after confirming your choice.

How to Play Freecell Solitaire

Objective

Move all 52 cards to the four foundation piles, building each suit from Ace up to King.

Controls

Drag cards between tableau columns, free cells, and foundations. Double-click a card to auto-move it to the foundations if a valid placement exists.

Step by Step

1All 52 cards are dealt face-up into 8 tableau columns.
2Move cards between columns by building in descending order and alternating colors (e.g., a black 6 goes on a red 7).
3Use the four free cells to temporarily store individual cards when you need to maneuver.
4Move Aces to the foundations first, then build each suit upward: Ace, 2, 3, ... King.
5Continue reorganizing the tableau and using free cells until all cards are on the foundations.

Winning

The game is won when all four foundation piles are complete — each containing one full suit from Ace to King.

Freecell Solitaire Rules

All 52 cards are visible from the start — there are no hidden cards.
Tableau columns are built downward in alternating colors (red on black, black on red).
Only one card can be placed in a free cell at a time.
Foundations are built upward by suit, starting from Ace.
You can move a valid sub-stack of cards if enough free cells and empty columns exist to support the move.
Empty tableau columns can receive any card or valid sub-stack.

Tips & Strategies

1.Keep free cells open as long as possible. Every occupied free cell reduces your ability to move cards around the tableau.

2.Prioritize uncovering Aces and low cards. Getting Aces and 2s to the foundations early simplifies the board significantly.

3.Build tableau stacks in proper alternating-color descending order. This keeps your options open and allows larger sub-stack moves.

4.Empty columns are extremely powerful — even more valuable than free cells. Use them to temporarily hold longer sequences during rearrangement.

5.Plan several moves ahead. Freecell is a game of perfect information — every card is visible, so there is no guessing involved.
