  1. Unsolvable "solvable" Klondike Game in Microsoft Solitaire


    In Microsoft Solitaire for Klondike Solitaire, when you select a difficulty level, the game is supposed to ensure that you get a solvable game. (As opposed to selecting "Random" where you could get an unsolvable game). Playing in this way, I've been able
    to play hundreds of games in a row that I'm able to solve. Even when I get to the end without solving, I just "undo" until I've found my error and then proceed to solve it.

    However, recently I have encountered a deck that I haven't been able to solve.

    Here's what it looks like at first deal:

    Any ideas? Or is this truly an unsolvable solvable game?

    :)

    Unsolvable "Solvable" Klondike Grandmaster game

    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.

    There's a guy on YouTube who is awesome at these games. I haven't tried grandmaster but expert can sometimes be a pain. I'd check him out and see if he has a video uploaded

    Unsolvable "Solvable" Klondike Grandmaster game

    in Grandmaster games I sometimes (quite often) make use of the undo button to go back a few moves to try something different.

    one thing I've noticed is that often you need to get 1 suit stacked on the ace to move a card that is blocking cards that are face down.

    for example, if there are no red 9s in the flop and the 8 of spades is holding you up. it might be possible to stack all the spades on the ace to get to the blocked card, then when a red 9 does get turned over, you can put the 8 of spades on that so you
    can then put a red 7 on it and continue to solve the deck.

    hope this made sense and helps

    I would recommend you reach out to the community and developers here at the
    Microsoft Casual Games Community.
    There are some wizards on there that might find a way to solve the specific deal you have. There is usually a number associated with the configuration that you can share so others can try. And if you still think it's
    un-solvable, there are ways to report that to the team on that site as well.

    Hi Jamie!

    I believe that you're referring to the Microsoft Solitaire game, correct?

    Based on their support article below, it says:
    "All games in: Daily Challenges, Events, Star Club, and easy to grandmaster classic games are solvable. Random difficulty in classic games could be unsolvable."

    If you still cannot solve it, try to contact the Microsoft Casual games support to further assist you on the issue here https://microsoftcasualgames.zendesk.com/hc/en-...
