Free Cells: goal and players
Play Free Cells online on JAWNA at jawna.app. Check the goal and supported player counts before inviting your group. Read the rules even if you know the game: familiar names can have different variants, and your usual house rules may differ from the selected version.
Supported table sizes: 2, 3 or 4 players. Choose a player count in the game settings. In partner variants, check seats and teams first. In individual formats, each player competes for their own result. The in-game How to play screen provides details. Agree on the variant before your first round together.
How to play: rules
- Everyone plays the same deal at the same time. Get all 52 cards home first to win; if the clock runs out, most cards home wins.
- All the cards are face up. Build the columns down in alternating colours: a red 9 on a black 10. Any card can fill an empty column.
- The four free cells top left each hold one card while you dig.
- Build the four home piles up by suit, Ace to King. Cards go home by themselves once nothing else needs them, and stay there. Once every column is in order, the rest go home on their own.
- An ordered run moves together if there’s room to shuffle it: one card more than your free cells, doubled for every empty column.
- Tap a card and it goes to its best spot (home first); tap it again to try the next spot. Or drag it exactly where you want. Undo as much as you like.
- These are the classic numbered deals, and every one here can be won.

History & origins
Paul Alfille developed FreeCell from Baker’s Game and programmed a version for the PLATO computer system in 1978.
Its open layout exposes every card, while four temporary cells provide room to reorganise the tableau.
Later Windows editions made it widely familiar. Jawna keeps the visible-card planning challenge and gives competing players the same starting deal.
