Free Cell Solitaire is a free board game you can play right here in your browser. It leans on card and sandbox & building, so expect a steady difficulty curve. You can jump in for two minutes or lose an hour to it; either works.
About Free Cell Solitaire
The object of the game is to build the four HomeCells up in ascending suit sequence from Ace to King. e.g. with cards of identical suit. The card at the end of each tableau column is available for play. You can move it to an empty FreeCell at any time to release the card beneath.
How to play Free Cell Solitaire
Getting started takes about ten seconds. Nothing about the control scheme is unusual; the table below covers all of it. Landscape layout: give it the fullscreen button on desktop, or rotate your phone. Take the first run as practice and the second one seriously.

Why it is worth playing
