MSO FreeCell Arena
The classic card game, reimagined for fair competition.
New to FreeCell?
Move every card to the four foundations, Ace up to King by suit. The four free cells each hold one card, so keep them empty when you can. Stuck? Hints are free, unlimited and proven to win.
New to FreeCell? Easy has your back.
Say yes to help, and the best move glows gold with a line on what it does. Arrows show which moves keep the deal winnable, a move that can't be made says why, and if a deal can't be won any more you can go back to a point where it still could.
Smart Auto-Moves
Cards automatically move to foundations when safe. Focus on strategy, not busy work.
Tap to Move, Your Way
Tap or click a card and it goes to the best place it can: a build in a column first, the foundation last, and an Ace straight up. Prefer a double-tap, or tapping the card and then the place it goes, like classic Windows FreeCell? Pick one under Settings › Game › Moving Cards. Dragging always works.
Large Print Cards
One switch puts a big rank and suit in the corner and one big pip on every card, with no face art, so a stacked card reads at a glance. Under Settings › Appearance › Cards, and on the new Accessibility tab in Settings.
Proven Hints
Stuck? Every hint is the first move of a winning line your game proves on the spot — not a guess, and not someone else's answer. If a deal has genuinely gone unwinnable, it tells you, and offers to rewind you to the last position that wasn't. Free and unlimited.
Unlimited Undo
Experiment freely. Undo any number of moves to try different strategies.
Keyboard Shortcuts
Undo, hint, new deal, and restart straight from the keyboard — Ctrl+Z, H, N, and R.
The Classic Win Cascade
Win, and the deck bounces off the foundations the way it always should have.
4 Difficulty Levels
Easy through Extreme — and every one of them playable in Casual or Hardcore. Each combination tracks its own records. Easy shows which moves keep the deal winnable.
Hardcore: One Life
No hints, no undo, and no second chances. The moment the deal becomes unwinnable, the game is over — and it counts. Hardcore deals are drawn from the proven-solvable pool, so a loss is almost always on you, not the shuffle — and the rare uncharted deal that isn't solvable is how the game's rarest badge gets earned.
Play in the Afterlife
Die in Hardcore and the Afterlife hands you the board back at the move before your fatal one. Play on under casual rules — undo, hints, a restart that returns to that moment — with no clock and nothing counting. Learn what went wrong, then try again for real.
