Hi Audrey
some hints

you must have autoplay turned off and concentrate on clearing the reserve and be careful not to play cards on the foundations even if you can if there is a card in the reserve that would go there later on .
try to keep the waste below about 30.

if you look at the game you will see that 4 of the 3s are quite well buried in the reserve
but there are only 4 cards above 3 in the reserve to be cleared first the 5h 6d 8h and 7s so keep back at least 2 of the foundations of each colour only up to the 2 so that all the 3s have somewhere to go when they show
it is still not easy though
Hope this helps
ps I have tried to win it again but get stuck like you at the moment

I've tried #2099588448 umpteen times without success Paul. Looks like you must have been extremely fortunate to get all the cards to come out in the perfect order to win it. I'm giving up on it now. The two I've posted already are easier to win. It's a thankless task trying to win yours.

Well done Paul,
I may press on and try for a few more. Thie strategy of this game is interesting. You can't afford to take your eye off the ball for an instant.
