The thinking player's solitaire — every card face up from the deal, nearly every game winnable.
All 52 cards are visible from the start, so nothing is left to luck. Use the four free cells to untangle the columns, plan your supermoves, and build the foundations from Ace to King by suit.
FreeCell is the solitaire you win with your head, not the shuffle. Every one of the 52 cards is dealt face up, so the whole puzzle sits in front of you from the first move. When a deal goes wrong, it is almost never bad luck — virtually every FreeCell deal can be won, which is exactly what makes losing one sting and solving one satisfy.
The game became a household name when Microsoft shipped it with Windows 95, and its famous fairness was proven on those original 32,000 numbered deals: only one, deal #11982, is unsolvable. Across the wider game, well over 99.99% of random deals have a winning line waiting to be found.
The layout is simple. A standard deck is dealt into eight tableau columns — four of seven cards, four of six. Four free cells hold one card each as temporary parking, and the goal is to build all four suits up from Ace to King on the foundations. The key mechanic is the supermove: you can shift a whole ordered stack at once when enough free cells and empty columns exist, following the formula (empty cells + 1) x 2 to the power of empty columns.
This version gives you unlimited undo, supermoves, timing and move stats — plus Baker's Game and Eight Off, the two classic FreeCell relatives, when you want a different flavor of the same all-skill puzzle.
