Message:Has anyone successfully played this game and won? I sure can't figure it out.
In the Freecell app on my computer, it's game number 784,588,330. Unfortunately, I don't see a way to add an image to this message. Is there a way to tell for sure, if a game cannot be won?
thanks, Kris

You must have the variant, ex, 8X4 and the difficulty level, ex. 6.

Message:This is for netcell (this site), not the regular freecell, however. That number looks too large for netcell.

Message:Ya, the extended Microsoft game set, which goes to a million, has eight unwinnables. That number is not one of them, though.

Message:Hah. It can't be one of them, its number is close to a billion! Of course now that most machines have 64 bit integers, RNGs have a vastly larger range than geezer me is used to.
