Man oh man Dave! This is a MEAN one! So far I've failed even to get a column cleared. I'll be working at it for a while yet but I'm far from optimistic. |

I can clear column 5 if that's of any assistance to anyone else working on this. |

This MAY be winnable Dave. Have currently got two columns empty but have to go out for a few hours. |

Scrapped the 5th column idea Dave. It was getting me nowhere. Cleared 6 and then 1 to get two columns clear. |

Thanks Dave, that was the best/worst game I've played in a long time. It's pointless even trying to give clues so I'm just posting the solution. An absolute cracker! |

Richard, was out for a while... was it the 6th and 1st that you cleared to win? Thanks, Dave |

I cleared the 6th column after restarting the game. When I got it open I juggled about with things until I had the 1st open at the same time. If you don't know how to use my uploaded solution, have a look at a very recent post in the Is It Winnable section,Freecell 1804439296. Just apply those instructions to the solution on this page. |

I finally got it... cleared (I think!) the 10th.. then mucked around with the rest. How do you post a solution here? I see how to read your pgs file. Thanks Richard. That was a good one! |

Cooking by gas Dave, cooking by gas. Well done! Your upload works a treat. That was a superb game. I hope you encounter another one like it soon. |
