Freecell Solitaire Time is a speed-round version of classic FreeCell. On a gradient, purplish-blue tabletop with only 10 minutes of time on the clock, the player attempts to fill four empty spaces in a foundation area by suit in ascending order (A to K) using cards from eight columns of mixed-suit, face-up standard playing cards. They can only rearrange the column cards into descending order (K to 2) builds by alternating colors and suits.
The player receives four free card-shaped spaces or cells that act like placeholders. When they don't need a specific card temporarily to complete their new column builds, they can transfer it to one of these spaces. They must strategically think several moves ahead when using the free cells to guarantee that they don't run out of spaces for unneeded cards that prevent them from fulfilling their task. Any time they use all the cards in a pre-existing column, they receive an extra light-colored space at the top of the previous column gap that acts like a free cell as well.
Freecell Solitaire Time tracks the player's moves, point score and remaining time during play. If the player needs to stop the game to take a pause or start over with a new game, they merely need to use the upper-left, three-line menu icon and select the resume, new game, or restart option, respectively. After they win the game, they receive their stats (i.e., final time and score, number of games played, number of games won, best time, and high score).
