In Response to Is it true that all Free Cell games are winnable?: I am a Free Cell addict. Years ago when I first learned to play Free Cell I was told that all games were solvable. Based on that, I would sometimes spend hours trying to solve certain Free Cell games. And I was always successful. The satisfaction that I felt upon finally winning, made the effort all worthwhile. That was until now. Now there is a game that I cannot solve. It seems impossible to win. I have already invested 3 days trying to solve this particular game. Before I invest any more time, I need to know for certain, was I misinformed or ARE ALL FREE CELL GAMES WINNABLE??? Posted by phenomenalwoman323 I would like to know the number of the game that you can't seem to win. I have one that I can't seem to win. Maybe it is the same. I keep track of it and go back to it every so often. |

I have won all the others by taking them one at a time starting from number one. |

In Response to Re: Is it true that all Free Cell games are winnable?: I can not find undo option, so I have to resign. otherwise every game is winnable. Please let me know if there is any undo option? Posted by Mahuvawala If you just minimize the game you're stuck on and later shut the computer down it won't be regisered as a loss. karl |

Posted by phenomenalwoman323 Yes, I too have found a couple of games that took perserverence, but I finally got the best of them. Which game # is giving you fits? Maybe it is one of those I wrestled with. |

Is this AARP's version of Free Cell that you are all discussing? I don't see any number, or any way to play a specific game, or replay a game. I used to replay games on my old computer with Windows XP, but the new one doesn't have it. Can anyone help explain what I'm missing??? |

In Response to Re: Is it true that all Free Cell games are winnable? : Posted by krlklar Oh, that explains it! So now I have to go looking for Free Cell on this computer. I have Windows 7, but I haven't gone looking for games. I do enjoy being able to replay specific hands of Free Cell. |
