Hi--I am curious--which, in your own opinions, is the most difficult Solitaire game of all? I welcome any responses--- |

Hi Frances
without using the unshuffled deck which may be why some of these appear to have been won
i think British canister must be the hardest to win and possibly impossible
others i have not won are also the well known hard ones
Boudoir ,Forwards and Backwards, Picture Patience, Queens and Jacks .Kings and aces and robert
when i won Cone, reserves and Idle Aces they were the hardest to win but can be won

It seems to me that certain games, e.g. Sixteen Puzzle, are impossible to win, unless you know its winnable numbers, which is not readily done unless you ask members. That middle card comes up in what seems to be absolutely random fashion. Anybody have some game numbers for me? Audrey |

I won Sixteen Puzzle # 588383233, last November. It was my 13th one to try. Haven't played it since. |

Hi Paul--you have won just about all the games and I thought maybe you might have gotten through to that one too--I am going to work on it again--I let it drop because of no wins but now I'll give it another try-- |

I had forgotten that I liked 16 puzzle, so I tried it again, and won 785220545, for 7.7% - 2 wins and 24 losses. I guess one can win every 13th game! |

Frances,
You want a difficult game? Get FreeCell Pro (FcPro) and solve deal #1003256 w/o using any free cells -- including indirectly through multi-card moves. It should only take you 10 lifetimes of continuous play to accomplish!
