Goal of the game
Move all 52 cards onto the four foundations, in ascending order and by suit (Spades on Spades, Hearts on Hearts, Diamonds on Diamonds, Clubs on Clubs), from Ace to King. The game is won the moment each foundation holds the 13 cards of its suit.
Setup
Shuffle a standard 52-card deck. Deal the cards face-up into 8 columns: the first four hold 7 cards each, the next four hold 6 cards — totalling 28 + 24 = 52 cards. Above the tableau, reserve four free cells (empty at the start) and four foundations (empty at the start, one per suit). Every card is visible from the very first move; there is no stock pile, no waste pile, and no redeal.
FreeCell 규칙
- 52장 전부 앞면으로 8개 열에 배치: 4열은 7장, 4열은 6장.
- 프리셀 4개에 카드를 한 장씩 임시 보관할 수 있어요.
- 태블로는 숫자 내림차순 + 색 교차로 쌓으세요.
- 파운데이션에 수트별로 에이스부터 킹까지 오름차순으로 쌓아 완성.
- 그룹 이동은 빈 셀과 빈 열에 따라 가능 횟수가 결정됩니다.
Win and loss conditions
You win the moment all 52 cards have been built up onto the four foundations, Ace-2-3-…-King for each suit. You lose if no legal moves remain — every tableau card is blocked and the free cells are full. Solitaire Royal's undo button rewinds bad moves; you can also restart the deal or shuffle a new one. Deals are randomly shuffled and guaranteed solvable.
전략 & 팁
- 역방향으로 계획하세요 - 에이스와 2를 먼저 찾고, 그것을 꺼낼 경로를 계산하세요.
- 프리셀은 비상 예비금처럼 다루세요: 셀에 놓은 카드는 움직임이 제한됩니다.
- 빈 열은 이동 능력을 기하급수적으로 늘려줍니다 - 가능한 한 유지하세요.
FreeCell was invented by Paul Alfille in 1978 on the PLATO computer system at the University of Illinois — a methodical rewrite of an older patience called "Baker's Game," switching from same-suit building to alternating-colour building. The game stayed obscure until Microsoft bundled it with Windows 95 (deals numbered 1 through 32,000), where it became a worldwide hit. Deal #11,982 is famously infamous: one of the very few official deals proven unsolvable.
