Hi,

What number is this game? I am on GrandMaster level 229 with three card deal. I am curious

that there would be a problem with the software. On random deals I achieve 64% solvable using

the back button and unlimited deals. My father and I both being interested in math thought 64%

was unachievable ha. I no longer have the memory to use paper cards ha.

Well when you select difficulty on Klondike (also Spider and Freecell if I well remember), you should be able to solve it since there was a specific update about this some time ago. When you go randon then you never know if it is solvable
or not.

In this case looking at the Excel there's not much you can do, I may be missing the trick, but I basically agree with the analysis.

The only place where I actually see someone from the MS solitaire staff active is their Facebook page where they post daily about challenges and events, but I don't know if you'll get some feedback on a specific schema.

I haven't played anything off of the Solitaire Collection in a while, but if I recall, after a certain point when you use the hint button during a game... the game will actually just end and give you the 'no moves left' screen or whatever it said. I play
a lot of Tri-Peaks, so this isn't my expertise, lol. I don't remember if Klondike has the game number function in the settings of the game, does it? Each game is randomly generated so... it is possible for you to get an unsolvable game at some point, I'd say
even more so on the harder deck difficulties.

The first thing I would thing to try, would be to feed what information you have into something like a solitaire solver program on the internet... or if you're tech savvy enough (which I am not) you could code one yourself... which I'm sure wouldn't be too
hard, the issue would most likely be being able to predict the hidden cards but online programs for card games and chess have done crazier things???

Tried this. But it's impossible to get to the 5 spades as it's got the 6 spades in the way and no way to change the cards before it. I do think it must be insolvable.
