Find your footing in FreeCell
Before making a move, check the cards in view. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. Build down in alternating colours; four cells each hold one card. Empty columns accept any legal group. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
One face-up deck. Transfer capacity counts available cells and spare empty columns. Free solo play, no wagering.
