Play FreeCell with the rules at hand
Keep the active rule in mind. Build four suit foundations from ace to king. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Build down in alternating colours; four cells each hold one card. Empty columns accept any legal group. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
One face-up deck. Transfer capacity counts available cells and spare empty columns. Free solo play, no wagering.
