FreeCell: from controls to your first round
For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Use another round to revisit a decision. Take a moment to read the table. 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.
Try a more deliberate round
Keep the active rule in mind. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
