The lesson in words
FreeCell deals all 52 cards face up into eight columns. Above them are four free cells (on the left) and four foundations (on the right).
The goal is to move every card to the foundations, building each suit up from ace to king. The lessons show just part of a deal.
Every card is visible, so every deal is a puzzle. Next: building in the columns.
Questions
How much of the deal can you see at the start?
Every card. That’s why FreeCell is all skill: almost every deal can be won.
