The card at the top of a building stack can be moved to an empty free cell or building stack. (This will usually be done automatically.) A card at the top of a stack can be moved to its corresponding suit stack if the rank of the card at the top of that stack is one less than the card's rank (Kings have a rank of 13, queens 12, jacks 11 and an ace has a rank of 1). The following are valid moves: An ace can be moved to its suit stack. To move a card, click on the card (which will highlight it) and then click on the destination. The suit stacks are located in the upper right corner and are initially unoccupied. Only one card can be placed in a free cell.

The free cells are found in the upper left corner and are used to temporarily store a card from the building stacks. All the cards in the building stacks are visible, but only the top card can be moved. The contents of the entire deck are initially found in the building stacks. There are three areas of the screen: Building Stacks The building stacks are found in the bottom half of the screen. This makes victory depend more on strategy than on luck.

In FreeCell, the location of all the cards in the deck are known at the start of a game. Stacks of cards with alternating colors in descending order can be built in the bottom half of the screen as an intermediate step. Like Klondike solitaire, the goal of FreeCell solitaire is to place all the cards in each suit in stacks of ascending order.
