Game guide · CHENYANGDA
Getting started with FreeCell
Keep the active rule in mind. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Use another round to revisit a decision. Look at the complete hand before deciding. Build down in alternating colours; four cells each hold one card. Empty columns accept any legal group. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
One face-up deck. Transfer capacity counts available cells and spare empty columns. Free solo play, no wagering.
Try a more deliberate round
A clear plan starts with the current position. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.

Keep this in mind
A clear plan starts with the current position. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
