Note to Freecell Solver’s Users
Shlomi Fish - the core developer of Freecell Solver, and the webmaster of this website - has been experiencing reliability problems with incoming and outgoing E-mail (such as legitimate messages being dropped or classified as spam). They also affect his GMail-dot-com account.
Therefore, one should preferably contact him using other electronic means.
Stop! Don't you want a Graphical Interface?
Freecell Solver is not a graphical program, and is instead oriented towards software developers and users of the UNIX/Linux or Windows command lines. If you prefer a graphical program with a convenient interface and an animated solution look at the graphical front-ends for Freecell Solver that people have prepared.
Of these we can recommend PySolFC which is open-source, cross-platform, configurable, and supports a very large number of Solitaire variants.
