Hi Ellen,

Wow that was the toughest one Ive played to date. It is winnable. I had to flip flop from the foundation more than I ever have. A clue is to leave the ace of clubs at the beginning and to also leave the king of hearts till the second one is delt.

Good luck!!!

Hi Ken,

I was hoping you would answer. I was playing games on this computer (have some point sable on other puters, also) in the hope of closing the gap between us or at least staying about the same distance behind you. Then I ran into this one.

Thanks for the hints. I have tried holding back on both of those, King and Ace. They don't get much use until the end anyway and the later ones block too many cards. Even so, I haven't succeeded. Your success will keep me at it.

Ellen

Ellen,

When I got to the end game the challenge was getting to the jack and queen of hearts and the 9 of spades on the 6,5,4 of spades. I cleared the first row with the 3d, 3cs and had one reserve cleared. From there I went back and fourth from the foundation countless time until I hit.
