How to Play FreeCell Solitaire
FreeCell is a unique and highly strategic version of Solitaire. Unlike Klondike, all 52 cards are dealt face-up from the start, making it a game of skill rather than luck. Your goal is to move all cards to the foundation piles by carefully using the four "free cells" as temporary storage.
The Objective
The goal is to build up the four foundation piles (top right), one for each suit, in ascending order from Ace to King (A, 2, 3... K). Because nearly every deal is winnable, the challenge lies in planning your moves ahead to avoid getting stuck.

- The Tableau: Cards are dealt into eight columns. You can move cards on top of each other in descending order and alternating colors.
- The Free Cells: The four slots at the top left are "free cells." Each can hold one card at a time. Use them strategically to move cards that are blocking your progress.
- Moving Sequences: You can move an entire sequence of cards between columns, but the number of cards you can move is limited by the number of empty free cells and empty tableau columns you have available.
