FreeCell: how a round works
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. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. Before making a move, check the cards in view. Build down in alternating colours; four cells each hold one card. Empty columns accept any legal group. Use another round to revisit a decision.
One face-up deck. Transfer capacity counts available cells and spare empty columns. Free solo play, no wagering.
