FreeCell is a solitaire card game played using the standard 52-card deck. It is fundamentally different from most solitaire games in that very few deals are unsolvable, and all cards are dealt face-up from the beginning of the game. It was originally created as a computer game by Paul Alfille. Microsoft has included an implementation of FreeCell in every release of the Windows operating system since 1995, which has greatly contributed to the game's popularity.

The maximum number C of cards in a tableau that can be moved to another tableau equals the number of empty cells plus one, with that number doubling for each empty cascade: C = 2^M\times (N+1) , where M is the number of empty cascades and N is the number of empty cells. The maximum number that can be moved to an empty cascade is C/2 .
