First time seeing this in KPatience. The game shouldn’t even start if it isn’t solvable though but it’s something.

    I think Windows 7 solitaire had an option where you could only get solvable games. Personally i like it when you don’t know if it can be solved - part of the puzzle for me.

      To each their own, that’s the reason I don’t play Solitaire physically and play it digitally I hate spending 5-10 minutes on a game just to find out that I can’t beat it. There’s no sense of satisfaction for me

      I was grateful for the option for a few games, before realizing that I was miserable. The game felt too easy with the option on. If they also had a stock of difficult levels to occasionally kick me to death, that’d’ve be nice. Going from 50% to nearly thoughtless 99% completion rate was no fun.

      I partially agree. From the start, it should be solvable. But if it can be solvable in a very certain way, I’m fine with it. I think a good puzzle should be at least solvable even if it was badly designed.

      Windows 7 solitaire was good, though it was kinda easy IIRC.

      I remember seeing the option, it required an account and I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a paid subscription after that.
