How to play

  1. All 52 cards are face up from the start — nothing is hidden, so you can plan the whole deal.
  2. Build the columns down in alternating colours, and build the four foundations up in suit from ace to king.
  3. The four cells in the top left hold one card each. They are your working space — parking a card there is how you unblock a column.
  4. Any card can move into an empty column, and long sequences move as one as long as you have enough free cells and empty columns to do it a card at a time.
  5. Double-click to send a card to its foundation. Undo is unlimited (U or Z), so you can always explore a line and back out.
  6. New to FreeCell? Press 💡 Hint and play the move it shows, over and over. Each one is a move on a line that wins the deal, so you can follow it a step at a time until the game makes sense.

Why play solitaire?

Solitaire is planning practice that fits in a coffee break. Every move is a small trade — uncover this column now, or keep the card you might need in three moves’ time — and the good players are the ones who look ahead rather than the ones who move fastest. FreeCell is the purest of them: every card is face up from the start, so there is no luck of the draw and nothing to guess at, only sequencing. Pyramid, TriPeaks and Golf work the other muscle — they are about spotting the pair or the run quickly, and a whole deal takes a few minutes.

JuJu keeps it calm. Undo is unlimited and free, the clock stays off unless you switch it on, and running out of moves is a message with a New deal button next to it — never a “game over” screen. No ads interrupt a deal, no account is needed, and there are no leaderboards: the only person you are ever measured against is you, and only if you ask.

Frequently asked questions

Is this solitaire free, with no ads or sign-up?

Yes. Every game here — Klondike, FreeCell, Spider, Pyramid, TriPeaks and Golf — is free to play in your browser, with no ads, no account and nothing to download or install. Your deal and your best time stay on your own device.

Can I play solitaire full screen?

Yes. Every game has a Full screen button that expands the board to fill the whole window and scales the cards up to use it; Escape or the same button brings the page back. It works on desktop and on mobile.

Which one should I play first?

Klondike if you want the familiar one — it is what “solitaire” means to most people. FreeCell if you want a fair puzzle rather than a lucky deal: all 52 cards are face up from the first move, so nothing is hidden and the whole thing is solvable by thinking. Spider on one suit is the gentlest introduction to the third family, and you can move up to two or four suits when it stops being a challenge. If you only have a few minutes, take Pyramid, TriPeaks or Golf — they are one board each, and every deal we give you can be finished.

What happened to Spider Solitaire and FreeCell in Windows?

Windows shipped Solitaire, FreeCell, Spider Solitaire, Minesweeper and Hearts for years, and dropped them all from Windows 8 onwards — the versions that came back are ad-supported Store apps. These are the same three card games, playing by the same rules in your browser, with nothing to install and no ads in the middle of a deal.

Can every deal be won?

It depends on the game, and we would rather say so than claim otherwise. Pyramid, TriPeaks and Golf are checked here before they reach you and only solvable boards are dealt. FreeCell deals are winnable virtually every time, and Spider on one suit nearly always is. Klondike genuinely dead-ends sometimes, whoever deals it. What is true everywhere is that you can always take it back: undo is unlimited and costs nothing, so no single move can lose you a deal you were enjoying.

Is there a timer?

Nothing counts down and nothing runs out. In Klondike, FreeCell and Spider the clock stays hidden until you switch it on. Pyramid, TriPeaks and Golf keep a quiet one so the finish can tell you how long the board took, but it is never on screen while you play. Either way it pauses when you switch tabs, so leaving a deal open over lunch does not ruin your time.
