Play FreeCell online free
FreeCell is the solitaire game of skill: all 52 cards are dealt face up, so almost nothing is left to luck. Nearly every deal can be won if you think a few moves ahead. Cheettukali uses the same deal numbers as the classic Windows FreeCell, so game #1 here is exactly game #1 there.
How to play FreeCell in four steps
- Look at the whole board. Eight columns, all cards face up. Find the Aces and low cards first.
- Build down in alternating colours. A red 7 goes on a black 8, a black 7 on a red 8. Any card can go in an empty column.
- Use the four free cells. The four spaces at the top left each hold one card for a while. Use them sparingly: a full set of free cells means you are stuck.
- Send cards home. Build the four foundations at the top right up by suit, Ace to King.
You can move several cards at once if you have enough free cells and empty columns to do it one card at a time. Cheettukali works out the maximum for you.

Questions
Can every FreeCell game be won?
Almost. Of the original 32,000 numbered deals, only one, game #11982, has been proven impossible. A few others are very hard.
Are the game numbers the same as Windows FreeCell?
Yes. Cheettukali uses the same shuffling method as the original Microsoft FreeCell, so each number gives the same deal.
How many cards can I move at once?
As many as you could move one by one using your free cells and empty columns: (free cells + 1) × 2 for each empty column. With 2 free cells and 1 empty column, that's 6 cards.
Is FreeCell harder than Solitaire?
It needs more thinking but less luck. In Klondike some deals can't be won at all; in FreeCell nearly all can, if you plan ahead.
