[ RULES ] To win the game, all cards must be arranged over the four foundation piles (the slots marked with A at the top of the screen) in four sequences of same suit from A-K. + Cards can be moved from tableau to tableau (the eight piles of cards on the screen). + Cards can be moved either as top card alone, or as an alternating-color sequence (e.g. Q-J-10). + A card can also be moved to an empty cell (the four slots on the top-right side of the screen) or to a foundation pile. A cell may contain only one card. + The longest sequence of cards you can move during a single operation is equal to the number of empty cells plus one. However, this number doubles for every empty tableau available (notice though that when moving the cards to an empty tableau, then that tableau is not counted). The reason is that an empty tableau acts like an extra empty cell, yet it can add multiple cards on it.

A simple and smooth FreeCell Solitaire game optimized for smartphones! Enjoy a classic card game whenever you have a few minutes to spare. FreeCell is perfect for a quick break, a commute, or a little brain training. Designed for easy touchscreen play, cards can be moved with a simple tap and their destination will be selected automatically. Made a mistake? Just use the Undo feature and try again. Score tracking is also supported. How to Play: FreeCell is a classic solitaire card game where the goal is to move all cards to the four Foundation piles in the upper-right corner, building each suit from Ace to King. On the tableau, cards can be stacked in descending order while alternating between red and black. The four Free Cells in the upper-left corner can temporarily hold any single card, giving you extra space to rearrange the tableau. Cards are normally moved one at a time, but by making good use of empty Free Cells and other available spaces, you can move sequences of cards more efficiently. Tips: * Try to keep your Free Cells open whenever possible. More free space gives you more options. * Move Aces and other low cards to the Foundations when it is safe to do so. * Use Undo to experiment with different moves and find your way to victory.

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Simple at 4.8 against New FreeCell Solitaire's 4.3. Simple also leads on ratings volume (63 vs 12).

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Simple holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simple has 63 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of New FreeCell Solitaire's written reviews are positive against 71% of Simple's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

New FreeCell Solitaire ships an update fortnightly, Simple every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
