Open Cells is FreeCell solitaire: all fifty-two cards dealt face up into eight columns, four free cells to park cards in and four home piles to fill from Ace to King. Nothing is hidden, so every deal is a puzzle you can think through — and every deal in Open Cells can be won.
In the columns, a card goes onto one a rank higher of the other colour: a red 6 on a black 7, a black 9 on a red 10. Any card can go into an empty column. The four free cells at the top left hold one card each while you dig out what lies underneath.
Runs move together. With free cells and empty columns to spare, you can carry a whole ordered run to a new column in one go — the more room you keep, the longer the run. Drag the run, or tap its first card.
Cards go home to the four piles at the top right by themselves as soon as no other card could still need them, each with a small rising click. When the rest of the deal is in order, the game finishes it for you.
Every deal is played through by a solver before you see it. The first levels use deals it clears with only one or two free cells, so they feel roomy with four; later come the full range, and from level 25 every fifth level is played with three cells.
Undo is unlimited and the bulb shows a good next move, found from where you stand. A clean game with neither is worth three stars.
The first deal teaches itself: a hand drags every move to its place with one line of why, all the way to the end.
How to play Open Cells
Move all fifty-two cards to the home piles, one pile per suit from Ace to King:
- Aces and low cards go home by themselves when they are free.
- Build down in the columns in alternating colours.
- Park a card in a free cell to reach the one under it.
- Use empty columns and free cells to move whole runs.
- Keep cells free — they are your room to move.
- Tap the bulb for a hint, or undo when you are stuck.
Game modes
| Mode | What changes | Who it's for |
|---|---|---|
| Levels | An endless ladder of deals, each checked to be winnable; the first ones roomy, later the full range, and every fifth level from 25 with three free cells. Stars by the undos and hints you used; progress saved. | Anyone who likes a calm card puzzle where skill, not luck, decides. |
Tips for Open Cells
- Free the Aces and Twos first — they unlock everything else.
- Empty a column early: it doubles how long a run you can move.
- Don't fill all four cells unless it wins you something right away.
- Before parking a card, look for a column it can go on.
- A King is best placed in an empty column — nothing can cover it there.
Who made Open Cells?
Open Cells was built by crokocat game studio in 2026 — classic FreeCell with deals checked by a solver, a coached first deal, unlimited undo, hints from the position you are in and hand-drawn cards.

Is Open Cells FreeCell solitaire?
Yes. Open Cells plays standard FreeCell rules: all 52 cards face up in eight columns, four free cells and four home piles. The only addition is that every deal is solved before you see it.
Can every deal be won?
Yes. Every level's deal is solved by the game before you see it; deals it cannot clear are never used.
How many cards can I move at once?
One more than your free cells, doubled for every empty column (not counting the one you move to). The game does the in-between steps for you.
Is there an undo?
Yes, as many as you like, and the bulb shows a good move from where you are. Using them costs a star, not the level.
What is different on some later levels?
From level 25, every fifth level has only three free cells — the fourth shows a lock.
