FreeCell Game #1941

BillyP · Mar 7, 2009

Have any of you beat this one? I've tried off and on all day with no luck. I don't want to know how to beat it, just is it beatable. If it is, I'll keep trying

I always went under the assumption that any freecell game was winnable.

Now....

My thoughts are changing...

Tig · Mar 7, 2009

Yes it can be beaten. The solution is relatively short.
After 4 tries I looked it up and then tested it.

Which version are you using, XP or Vista? The only thing to recommend Vista is that Freecell has unlimited undo.

That's why I have a 99% win record

for 3400 games

Yep, it is very winnable. You just need to change your strategy a bit.

There are two Freecell games you absolutely cannot beat:
# -1
and
# -2

So whenever someone says they can win every Freecell game....

That being said, there is a Freecell cheat that allows you to put any card anywhere and win....

I don't see that as winning ...

I remmeber that one!!!! I swear I remember winning that game. And gosh it seemed like it took me weeks adn weeks (well off and on). I went on the internet and searched and did not read the solution only that it could be won. And by gosh I was so proud when I figured it out on my own. But man o man was tha a hard one. I can't even count how many times I had to restart it and try again another tactic. But on my own I figured it out

BillyP · Mar 7, 2009

OK, I finally won it! Not on my own though. I looked it up, cause I have to get some sleep tonight

That's the first one I haven't been able to solve, not sure I would have ever done it without the help of the internet.

FreeCell is the ONLY game that I play on my Windows XP and my statistics show 2113 wins and 1 loss. My loss was # 11982 which no one has ever found a solution to. (not counting #-1 and # -2 which are set-up games and can't be won)

#1941 was definitely one of the harder games. There are a few other real hard games but they are all numbered over 100,000.
