Thomas, Why isn't Forwards and Backwards in the 20 most difficult games list since it has been won only twice in some 8300+ games??? |

I'll have to second that question -- I've never even succeeded with the "Forwards" part of it. And of course you don't even start getting points till you're working on "Backwards", if you can get that far. |

In my main page it is in the Very Hard Games. Is there another list of Very Very had games? |

That list hasn't been updated in quite a while. It probably didn't have enough games played at the time when that list was last updated.
There's no question it's one of the hardest. |

Has anybody ever solved any one of the Little Gate solitaire games?
I suspect that its designer wants to finish driving me nuts. Audrey |

I am, I suppose, adicted (now at least) to Mah Jong Klondike Deal Three.
My average wins hovers between 17-18%.
I would be interested in exchanging some strategies with those so afflicted!

Oh, yes! It does work, Mary. Thanks so much. I must have played several hundred games and .. zip. I'm
trying to solve each puzzle. So far, I'm up to 326,
having deleted my scores once, in error. Now, if I can solve Waxing moon!!! But, that's another story.

Thanks, Ken. I haven't solved it yet although it's getting closer. There's a point where you choose between three, or four, kings to move and I'm pretty certain to choose the wrong one. I'll keep at it but may need a hint, or so. Bye. Audrey |

Ken,
You proved me wrong. I have played Waxing Moon about 175 times without success. I like the game, but I have always felt that it would take a miracle to win it, since you bury cards in the waste and have no way to 'manage' them.
I saw your post to Audrey, and decided to try that number, and after a few efforts I made it!
Knowing that a certain hand is winneable makes a difference; otherwise it is easy to dismiss a certain case as 'lost' and not trying to replay... |
