   Was solitaire always this hard, or have I forgotten how to play this game? I tried a few games and failed every time :)

      Many solitaire games will not give you an unsolvable puzzle to play. I think freecell only had one (by accident)

         Microsoft Solitaire (Klondike) frequently gives you unsolvable hands, especially if you're using Draw-3.

         FreeCell &quot;is fundamentally different from most solitaire games in that very few deals are unsolvable&quot; (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;FreeCell" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;FreeCell) i.e. most solitaire games deals are unsolvable.

         As you said, Microsoft FreeCell does only deal one unsolvable puzzle as standard (#11982 out of 32000) <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.solitairelaboratory.com&#x2F;fcfaq.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.solitairelaboratory.com&#x2F;fcfaq.html
