Box10 is the classic 10×10 block puzzle, rebuilt for today. Drag pieces onto the board. Fill a whole row or column and it clears. Pieces don't rotate, so plan where each one goes: when no piece fits and no Swap is left, the run is over. THE ORIGINAL RULES, PLUS SMART EXTRAS • Hold: keep one piece aside and use it when it fits best. • Undo: take back your last move. • One-colour lines: clear a line of a single colour for 5× the points. • Missions: three small goals in every Classic and Bomb 10 run, for bonus points and Swaps back. • Rescue bombs: when you are stuck, drop bombs where you choose to clear 3×3 holes. • See where a piece lands and which lines will clear before you let go. FOUR WAYS TO PLAY • Classic: the original endless game. • Bomb 10: bombs count down from 10. Clear their row or column before they reach zero. • 10 Trays: exactly 30 pieces. How high can you score? • Two players: take turns on one device. The lines you clear score for you. ALSO • 10 badges to earn, plus leaderboards with Game Center. • Plays offline, no account needed. • iPhone and iPad. • English and Vietnamese. • Remove Ads: one-time purchase, restorable.

Classic FreeCell on cards you can read at arm's length, with every numbered deal and a daily challenge. No ads, ever. No account. FreeCell is a game of skill: every card is dealt face up, and nearly every deal can be won. This version is built for players who play every day and want nothing between them and the cards. RELAX OR THINK IT THROUGH Play a quick deal to unwind, or slow down and plan every move. There's no time limit and nothing to rush you. • Every card is face up, so each deal is a puzzle you can think through from the first move • Choose easy deals for a calm game, or hard ones when you want to stretch your mind • The daily challenge is one good puzzle to start your day CARDS YOU CAN READ • Every deck has the biggest corner index we could fit, readable at arm's length • Tap a card to send it to its best place, or drag it. Drops are forgiving • Left-handed layout, portrait and landscape, iPhone and iPad • Full VoiceOver support: every move is available from the rotor THE CLASSIC DEALS • Every classic deal numbered 1 to 32,000, the same deals you already know • Type any deal number to play it again • Every deal we hand you can be won (all but the famous #11982, which you can still try) HELP WHEN YOU WANT IT • Unlimited undo, even after closing the app • Hints that come from a real solver • "Finish the game" when only the easy cards are left • A quiet note when a position can no longer be won, never a pop-up A DAILY CHALLENGE One deal for everyone each day, always winnable. Miss a day and it's still there to play later. Three small goals each day, the same for everyone, earn stars toward your level. Win any game on a day to keep your day streak going; the freezes you earn along the way cover a day you miss. YOUR PROGRESS, EVERYWHERE Statistics, deal history and your game in progress sync through iCloud, so you can start on your iPhone and finish on your iPad. Game Center achievements if you use it; nothing if you don't. PRIVACY AND TERMS Privacy Policy: https://benholloway.org/freecell/privacy/ Terms of Use: https://benholloway.org/freecell/terms/

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FreeCell at none against Box10's 1. FreeCell also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). Box10's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, rating, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Box10 ships an update every 2 weeks, FreeCell every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
