Not every Klondike deal can be won
In a randomly shuffled Klondike game, some deals are impossible: a key card is buried where no sequence of moves can reach it. Players often cannot tell whether they made a mistake or the deal was hopeless from the start. That uncertainty is one of the most frustrating parts of the game.
How we make sure a deal is winnable
Our deals come from a bank of several hundred shuffles for each mode. A computer solver played each one through to the end, and the winning line was replayed with the real game rules to double-check it. Only deals that passed go into the bank. Draw 1 and Draw 3 have separate banks, because a deal that is winnable in Draw 1 may not be in Draw 3.
A deal being winnable does not mean every move works: you can still play yourself into a corner. Unlimited ↶ Undo lets you step back and try another way, and 💡 Hint suggests a useful move.
Prefer pure chance?
Switch off “Winnable deals only” on the start screen or in Settings for completely random shuffles, as in the original game.
