FreeCell Frequently Asked Questions

FreeCell is a solitaire card game played with a standard 52-card deck. Unlike other solitaire games, all cards are dealt face-up, making it a game of pure skill rather than luck. The goal is to move all cards to four foundation piles, building each suit from Ace to King. FreeCell features 4 "free cells" for temporary card storage, which gives the game its name. Try it now →

A supermove lets you move multiple cards at once as a shortcut, rather than moving them one by one. The number of cards you can move depends on empty free cells and empty columns using this formula: (1 + empty free cells) × 2^(empty columns). For example, with 2 empty free cells and 1 empty column, you can move (1+2) × 2 = 6 cards at once.
