Try Keeping the Free Cells Empty\n\n With many empty free cells, one can move a longer card sequence. However, maneuvering will be difficult if you only have one or two empty cells. If you can't maneuver, then you really cannot play this game. Therefore, don't place cards in the free cell unless it is your only option.
