  • Freecell used to intimidate me to the point where I would never play it, but now I am obsessed after figuring out the key to winning. Hopefully this opens up a new way of playing if you are having trouble with the game!

    Thanks for the video. I just wanted to add that when you move more than one card it is based on how m any free cells you have open on top plus 1. Thats why sometimes it allows 5 to be moved if you have 4 free cells open and other times only 1 if you are using all your free cells.Regards

    • @ThrillaLive
      @ThrillaLive  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think bc I could have moved the 10 and 9 to that empty space together. That would have still left an open cell up top for me to move the Jack and then bring the rest over to the Jack.

    "we don't wanna move the queen to the empty stop and Circumstances forces us to built ontop of it and then we're just screwing ourselves." my guy did not settle a queen in a kings place and that solved the game. Feel like this is beyond solitaire.

    Freeing up columns is indeed the way to win, as you say, but there is no need to be so concerned about putting a king in that spot. You can build on any card....always looking to how you can free up another column. Once you get a couple of free columns, and some free cells, you can move large stacks of cards at once.

      @ThrillaLive  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      There are games that are impossible to win. If you play on random difficulty, you can get an unwinnable game. If you choose a specific difficulty, they should all be winnable. Sometimes it takes me a realllllyyyyy long time to figure out the right moves, I just got kind of lucky in this video.
