I play this often
When I’m making a phone call and I know I’m likely to be on hold while bad music plays through awful speakers I always open a solitaire game.
I noticed with this specific solitaire game that if I win a game, the next 3 games are impossible to win - the cards I need to complete that game just can’t be uncovered. I’ve found a work-around to defeat this annoying glitch in the program.
When I’ve won and the cards are slowly rolling over on to the deck I wait with my cursor poised over the “new game” icon and as soon as the row of 10’s begins to move I click that new game icon. Usually this disrupts the shuffling algorythm enough to make a new game that I can win. Then I just minimize the game until I want to play again. If it doesn’t work, which does happen sometimes, I can usually get a winnable game after a few tries.
Strategy hint: I never put the first of 2 cards that can go to a place on a stack unless I’m sure the one other card that could go there is not in play. In other words if I draw a 6 of hearts that could go on a black seven I won’t use it until I’ve completed checking all the cards available to play to be sure there’s also a 6 of diamonds I could use - it’s a way to avoid “shooting myself in the foot” by reducing the risk that I’ll make it impossible to play a covered card when/if I do uncover it.
