FreeCell is a card game where you use your brain to move cards in the right order. It’s fun and can make you really good at thinking ahead!
The game was made by Jim Horne in 1991, and then Microsoft added it to Windows computers. Lots of people love this game and still play it today on phones and computers.
🎮 Where You Can Play
You can play FreeCell on:
- Windows PC
- Web browsers
- Android phones
- iPhones (iOS)
🧠 How the Game Works
The game uses a full deck of 52 cards. Here’s how the board is set up:
- There are 8 columns of cards (these are called tableau piles).
- There are 4 Free Cells (top-left of the screen) – these are empty spots where you can put one card each if you get stuck.
- There are 4 Home Cells (top-right). Your goal is to move all the cards here in order, from Ace to King for each suit.
📋 Basic Rules (Easy Version)
- You can move only one card at a time.
- You must place cards in descending order (King → Queen → Jack…) and in alternating colors (Red → Black → Red…).
- Example: You can place a red 6 on a black 7, but not on a red 7.
- Use Free Cells to move cards out of the way temporarily.
- You win when all 52 cards are in the home cells in order.
💡 Smart Tips to Win
- Move Aces and Twos first – they go straight to the home cells.
- Try to clear a whole column – this helps you move longer card stacks.
- Don’t fill up all the free cells too quickly, or you won’t have space to move!
- Undo button is your friend – if you make a mistake, go back and try again.
