Set "difficulty" of Microsoft Solitaire to mimic difficulty posed by an actual deck of cards

DavidIvester1 · May 27, 2020

How can I set the "difficulty" level of Microsoft Solitaire to mimic or match the difficulty of playing with an actual deck of cards? I want to play the game I learned growing up--and not play a game with some arbitrary and adjustable "difficulty" level
devised by a programmer.

Or if that cannot be accomplished in Microsoft Solitaire, is there some other PC solitaire game that is designed to mimic playing with an actual deck of cards?

Together with the different difficulty levels that provides a solvable deck of the selected difficulty, you can always select "random" that will provide the real experience since it is like shuffling a real deck and you never know the outcome.

I understand you're having difficulties with the grandmaster difficulty in Solitaire collection.

Win a game in that difficulty is always hard and you need to use the cards carefully.

Is this happening with a daily challenge?

Under Game Options you'll be able to check if your deck difficulty is remembered for Klondike, Spider, Freecell ... that leads me to believe that difficulty settings are not available for Pyramid and Tripeaks.
