The FreeCell playbook
Keep the active rule in mind. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Before making a move, check the cards in view. Build down in alternating colours; four cells each hold one card. Empty columns accept any legal group. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
One face-up deck. Transfer capacity counts available cells and spare empty columns. Free solo play, no wagering.
Something to practise
