FreeCell

How to play

All 52 cards are dealt face-up into eight columns — nothing is hidden. Above them sit four free cells (each holds one card) and four foundations. Build the foundations up by suit from Ace to King; that's your score.

On the tableau, cards stack DOWN in alternating colours (a red six goes on a black seven).

Tap a card to send it straight to a foundation when that's the obvious move; otherwise tap it to pick up the ordered run beneath your finger, then tap where it should go — another column, an empty free cell, or a foundation.

You can shift a run of cards at once, but only as many as (1 + empty free cells) × 2 for each empty column — so keep cells and columns open. Clear all 52 to the foundations to win instantly; otherwise the higher score when the timer runs out takes it.
