2/27 16:55 6x4 6412-9 Tournament 1:56 Won 1.5% 2999 1 67 Solved less than a minute after time expired in this afternoon's Freakout. Sigh. Congrats to Spud on another nice win!

I got there 20 mins later. I really enjoyed that Freakout, I felt that it was one of the best I've ever played. Really pleased with how quick I got some of those tough games. But I got worried once all the games had been solved twice as I thought all the remaining 3 games had some potential and it would have been so annoying to have been pipped having led throughout (good job I never look at who I'm up against or it would have been even worse!). Guess it was my lucky day.

You made it easy for me - I just followed you around the board, playing the games you'd solved already. Much easier when you know in advance a game is winnable!

A couple of back-to-backers: 7x3 #2759-5 71/1 9x1 #16933-5 42/1 Found the 9x1 a lot tougher, and threw away some juicy ELO points on the 7x3 by losing it on the first play by moving the wrong black 8. Oh well.

The ix game from a week ago above. 16th try was a charm. There are lots of little paths to explore once you commit to putting cards into all the free cells. Hint below: Game #: 6x5 21054-8 Game stats: 69/1/1.45% Elapsed: 3:54 Secret is to out up top 3 spades and build down on the less-intuitive black jack.

But, using a deck of cards to play freecell doesn't show how good you are at freecell. It shows how good you are at playing a game several times until you win it. You don't need a deck of cards on this site to do that. Just hit replay.
