How to play FreeCell

  1. All 52 cards are dealt face up into eight cascades. Build the four foundations from ace to king, one suit each.
  2. On the cascades, place cards in descending order with alternating colours. Any card can go to an empty cascade.
  3. The four free cells each hold one card. Use them to park cards, but every card in a cell is one fewer you can move at once.
  4. A run moves as a unit only if you could move it card by card: (free cells + 1) × 2 to the power of empty cascades, halved when the run goes to an empty cascade.
  5. Drag cards, or tap a card and then its destination. Double-tap sends a card to its foundation, or to a free cell if it cannot go up.
  6. Safe cards go up automatically (setting). Undo is unlimited. A deal marked "Solvable" was solved by the built-in solver.

How to play the daily FreeCell

  1. Today’s deal is ready when the page opens: 52 cards face up in eight cascades.
  2. Build the foundations by suit from ace to king; build cascades down in alternating colours.
  3. Park single cards in the four free cells; any card or run fits an empty cascade.
  4. The number of cards you can move as a run is shown under the board.
  5. Win to extend your streak; a streak continues if you also solved yesterday’s daily.
  6. Missed a day? The archive keeps the last 30.

Daily FreeCell tips

The timer starts only on your first move, so reading the layout before you start is free. Use that time well.

Find the aces

Locate all four aces and the twos, and count how many cards cover each. The cascade with the fewest cards above an ace is usually the right place to start. Safe cards go up automatically, so freeing an ace often releases a two or three right after.

Plan to empty a cascade

The short cascades hold six cards. Clearing one early gives you a spot for any card and doubles the size of the runs you can move. Try to reach one before your free cells fill.

Spend free cells slowly

Each card in a cell lowers your run limit. Keep at least one or two cells open in the early game, and only fill the last one when you can see the moves that empty it.

When you get stuck

When the header says "Solvable", a dead end means an earlier choice went wrong. Undo is unlimited; step back to the last point where you had a real choice. A hint shows the next move of a winning line from your position when the solver finds one, and the first two hints in a game are free.

Daily FreeCell streaks and stats

Your current and best streak, games won, win rate, and best and average time for the daily are kept in your browser, separately from ordinary games. The timer pauses when the page is hidden, and a finished daily gives you a short plain-text result to share, with the date.

Plays anywhere, no app, no account

Today’s deal is computed on your device from the date, so it works offline, and every pile can be played from the keyboard. Tidy Puzzles runs entirely in your browser: there is no app to install, no account to create and no interstitial before you can play. After the first visit the game also works offline, because each puzzle is generated on your device from a seed. Every board can be played with the keyboard alone, on a phone or a desktop, and your stats and unfinished puzzles stay in this browser rather than on a server.

Frequently asked questions

When does the daily FreeCell change?

At midnight UTC. Everyone gets the same deal for the same date.

Is the daily FreeCell always solvable?

Each daily is solved by the built-in solver before it is shown, and the header says "Solvable". If the first deal for a date cannot be proven, up to two more candidates for that date are tried.

How do FreeCell streaks work?

Winning today’s daily adds one to your streak if you also won yesterday’s; otherwise it restarts at one. Your best streak is kept.

Can I play an old daily FreeCell?

Yes, the last 30 days are in the archive.

Where are my stats stored?

In your browser, on this device. There is no account and nothing is sent to a server.
