Thanks for the Blue Jacket winning number. It was so hard remembering all the rules (I'm OLD) that I don't know if I would have continued playing this particular one if I didn't know it was winnable. Back when dinosaurs ruled the Earth and I didn't know about PGS, my mom had a computer solitaire program on her old Mac that had an option of always playing winnable games. They were not easy by any means, but it certainly provided incentive to not give up and go to another game.
Ha! I had no memory of that game whatsoever until I reread the rules and "discovered" that I'd be dealt more cards provided that all the tableau cells were full. Then the penny started to drop and before much longer I had it all sussed. Btw Ken, what's a dinosaur? 😕
According to Larry ......... A software program found that #430808 was the first winning number discovered in deals 1 to 10,000,000 in the regular Freecell game with Kings Only being used. However it uses a different game numbering algorithm from ours.
Cheers Larry, Our British Canister doesn't have any Freecells so their software must have had the Freecells disabled otherwise it would have found loads of winners. Clever. 😊

I remember being the first person who ever won one of these but still found it tricky to re-win it just now.

Pretty straightforward and easier than 5%. Keep at least one empty cell in the tableau and don't be in too much of a hurry to fill them.
The pseudo British Canister using regular Freecell Kings only also needs one to avoid using the freecells.
