FreeCell—a modified version of Solitaire—is a game you play by yourself. The entire deck is dealt, and, as in Solitaire, you arrange the cards by stacking them in descending order, alternating the red and black cards. Unlike the way you play Solitaire, the sequence of cards can begin anywhere in the stack. You can move a single card onto another card to add to the sequence of cards, or into one of the free cells at the top, or into a blank column after the column has been emptied of cards. You win by stacking all the cards by suit in ascending order.
When possible, move an Ace to the top of the window and stack the cards by suit in ascending order (FreeCell might do this for you automatically).
Click another card to move the selected card on top of it. (The cards must be stacked in alternating colors in descending numeric order.)
Continue stacking the cards, including moving cards into or from a free cell. You can also move one card or a series of cards into an empty column.
Repeat steps 2 through 5 until all the cards are stacked by suit.
