About the FreeCell Solitaire leaderboard
This board ranks the fastest completed games of FreeCell Solitaire by finish time. FreeCell deals the entire deck face up into eight columns, so nothing is hidden and nearly every game can be won - It's pure strategy - a game rated Pure skill where 99.999% of deals are winnable.
How ranking works
- Only completed (won) games count, and every result is checked for a plausible time and move count before it's listed.
- Ties break toward fewer moves, rewarding efficient solving as well as speed.
- Signed-in players keep a permanent name on the board and sync records across devices; guests can still post a display name.
- Switch between Today, This Week, This Month and All Time above to see recent form or lifetime bests.
What counts as a good FreeCell time?
Times vary a lot by player and by deal, but here's a rough guide to aim for:
| Just learning | Finishing at all is the win - don't watch the clock yet. |
|---|---|
| Casual player | A comfortable, unhurried solve, usually a few minutes. |
| Getting good | Under ~3 minutes with few wasted moves. |
| Speed runner | Well under a minute on a friendly deal - clean, decisive play. |
The fastest way to climb this board isn't frantic clicking - it's making fewer, smarter moves so the clock barely moves while you plan.
