A Winning Strategy For The Game Of Freecell Solitaire
Boris Sandberg
FreeCell Solitaire is an extremely addictive solitaire card
game invented by Paul Alfille. It is fun and very
skill-dependent. Nearly every game of FreeCell Solitaire can be
won with perfect play. Only several FreeCell deals are known to
be unsolvable. This makes FreeCell card game much more
interesting and popular than solitaire variations like
Klondike, where luck is a large factor in the game. With
FreeCell, winning depends mostly on skill.
You have a better chance of winning if you plan your strategy
carefully. Below you will find several simple rules that can
help you to win FreeCell Solitaire on more regular basis.
1. Examine the tableau carefully before making any moves. It is
very important to plan several moves ahead. The obvious moves
are not always the best.
2. Make it a priority to free up all the Aces, especially if
they are deeply buried behind the higher cards. Move them to
the home cells as early as possible.
3. Try to keep as many free cells empty as possible. Be
cautious! Once all free cells are filled, you have almost no
space to maneuver. And your ability to maneuver is the key to
this game. Make sure you have no alternative before placing any
cards in the free cells.
4. Try to create an empty tableau pile as soon as possible.
Empty tableau piles are more important than free cells. Each
empty tableau can be used to store an entire sequence instead
of a single card. And it doubles the length of an ordered
sequence of cards that can be moved from one tableau to
another. (If the long sequence move involves both empty
tableaus and free cells, it is often called supermove.)
5. If it is possible, fill an empty tableau space with a long
descending sequence that begins with a King.
6. Do not to move cards to the home cells too quickly. You may
need these cards later to maneuver lower cards of other suits.
Some FreeCell Solitaire deals are solvable very quickly, while
others take more time to solve. Replaying the same shuffles in
a number of different ways will allow completing the most
difficult ones. The more you play the more games you are able
to complete. Continue to practice using the strategy above and
soon you will find yourself achieving better results and
enhancing your enjoyment of playing FreeCell Solitaire.
