Oh, I thought this game might go to 300-1 before someone else won it and now I see WRAC solved it just before the proverbial bell. I had to pull something out from the mabb playbook to solve it. Looks like the sharing the same birthday with mabb mojo let WRAC channel the same solution.

If someone could tell me how to solve that effing 5x6 I'd be grateful. Played it twenty times.

Ha! It took me 22 tries to get the 5x6, totally taking me out of contention. I kept thinking getting to the 5H might solve it for me, but I had to get to the 4D instead. This means clearing column 5, which isn't all that hard after you see how to do it (one of the red 7s on the 8C), but it sure gave me fits. By contrast, the 6x4 was only moderately difficult (8 tries), but sometimes you see 'em and sometimes you don't. Congrats, Kaos - you were in a different league tonight!

Not having played the level 10 6x4 and level 1 5x6 I cannot help.Level 7 6x4 can be solved without fits by sending clubs cards up to 8 home.

Thanks WRAC. I tried that route several times but didn't fiddle enough. Got it in one this time! Congrats to Kaos.

WRAC, it seems like it is always a thin line these days. With Mastermind's hint, I went back and played the level 7 6x4 and took less than two minutes to solve it and the 6x4 I thought would be so tough was already solved by somebody else besides you by the time I posted. Seems like there might be no such thing as a safe lead unless you get to 36.
