Shuffling the deck…

FreeCell is the solitaire card game where every card is face up from the start — no hidden cards, no draw pile, just planning. Build all four suits from Ace to King using four free cells as temporary storage. You can play free FreeCell online right here: it runs in your browser, and the numbered deals (1–1,000,000) match classic Windows FreeCell, so you can replay a favorite or challenge a friend to the exact same game.

No ads. No sign-up. Just the game.

How to play

  1. 1

    All 52 cards are dealt face-up into 8 columns. Your goal: build four foundation piles by suit, from Ace to King.

  2. 2

    Click a card to select it, then click where it should go. Columns build down in alternating colors (red on black, black on red).

  3. 3

    Use the four free cells (top left) as temporary storage — each holds a single card.

  4. 4

    Move a descending, alternating run of cards together — the longer the run, the more free cells and empty columns you need.

  5. 5

    Double-click a card (or let the game handle it) to send safe cards to the foundations automatically.

Frequently asked questions

Is every FreeCell deal winnable?

Almost. Of the original 32,000 Microsoft deals, only one — the famous #11982 — has never been solved. In the full 1,000,000-deal set, researchers have found just eight unsolvable deals. Every other deal, including any you randomly get here, can be beaten with enough planning.

Is this the same deal as Windows FreeCell?

Yes. We use the same published dealing algorithm as classic Windows FreeCell, so game numbers 1–1,000,000 produce identical deals. Type a number in the New Game dialog to replay that exact deal.

Is this FreeCell game really free?

Yes — completely free, with no ads and no sign-up. Open the page and play. There is no premium tier and nothing to unlock.

Do I need an account to play FreeCell online?

No. There is no registration and no login. Your current game is saved in your browser, so you can close the tab and pick up where you left off.

How is FreeCell different from regular solitaire (Klondike)?

In FreeCell every card is visible from the start — no face-down cards, no stock pile — so nearly every deal is solvable with perfect play. Klondike, the classic seven-column solitaire, hides cards and adds the luck of the draw. We're working on Klondike too.

Can I play FreeCell on my phone?

Yes. The game runs in any modern browser — desktop, tablet, or phone — with tap-to-move controls. Nothing to download or install.
