Hi Donna, I'm pushed for time at present, but my gut feeling with this one is that it's winnable. I've had scores in the 60's with it so far, and I'm sure that the hearts are the key. It appears to be essential to concentrate your efforts towards getting the 2H in the last line moved asap. You must therefore get a red four clear to accept a black three as the aces of hearts are buried.
BTW are you aware that you can take cards back down off of the foundations to help reconstruct columns? You need to have autoplay switched off obviously. Just uncheck where shown.

I've been replaying it a lot this evening but it keeps finding a different spanner to throw into the works. I've not given up but it's possible I was wrong about it being winnable. What's your best score with it? I think I had 68 a while back. If you can beat that please save and upload it. It may give me fresh ideas. |

My time is still at a premium Donna. Have got to 80 but am beginning to think it may not be possible to get very much further. I've been wrong about that occasionally so don't give up just yet. The fat lady hasn't even started her warm up yet. |

I doubt if your game is winnable Donna. I'll probably come back to it occasionally if I'm at a loose end, but I think you should move on. Gonna have to shoot that fat lady.

Here is "The News".
"I aint perfect" but I've put my "Heart & Soul" into this game. But "Bad is bad". They may still be trying to beat today's score "100 years from now".

Very well done Ken. Looks like I stuck too rigidly to my original opinion of the game. I've not had as much time as I'd have liked due to organising a funeral, but my scores were improving despite that. Just a pity no-one could help Donna sooner.Maybe next time. |

I've just run through your game Ken. Our tactics were almost identical. "It appears to be essential to concentrate your efforts towards getting the 2H in the last line moved asap". I also decided to ignore the early 2D. Great minds perhaps. |
