Literally just played a game in which one of the stacks (the one containing 4 cards) was lead by the 9 of diamonds, and the cards inside of it were the King of Spades, the 5 of diamonds, the 10 of spades, and the 10 of clubs (I know this because I had the entire field solved except for this stack and used process of elimination). As far as I can see this makes the game impossible.

I have a 9 of diamonds in which can never be moved, as the two 10s that it's eligible to rest upon are trapped underneath it in the stack face down. Attempting to get rid of the 9 by moving it to the diamond stack would also be fruitless, as the 5 of diamonds is stuck underneath it too. Unless someone can tell me some way that this could be solved, I'm pretty darned certain that if a card that is leading a stack is covering a stack that contains the two cards it is capable of resting on, and a lower number of it's own suit, then the game is made impossible right from the get-go. @Arda, there are some conditions that could be easily tested - for example, a card other than a King can be played on only three other cards in the deck (the next-lowest card in its suit, or the foundation for an Ace, and the next-higher cards of the opposite color). If all three of those cards are face down below that card on a pile, the game isn't winnable. Odin 1.85 For Samsung Galaxy Y here. Unfortunately I think that's a small percentage, and testing for other conditions might require a ton of recursion. – May 25 '11 at 21:05 •.

However, if you started a list and enumerated the initial conditions -- I feel like I've seen this on a linux version of Solitare: the numbering of deck order, that is -- and you definitively decide a certain one is un-winnable, you then could compare notes across nodes (share with friends) and VOILA: a list of un-winnable starting deck stacks. I've been starting to think the Windows 7 version has the un-winnable decks removed.

I don't know, it's a little heavy-handed and smug about the statistics. @JonathanHobbs No, all you have to store is which deck you're looking at (which would need to go up to 52!, which means we'd need about 226 bits), and you'd need to store how many of them were solvable (another 226 bits, or less), and then one game of solitaire (which windows 3.1 was apparently able to store just fine), and the algorithm to actually solve the game. The data storage mechanisms do not need to be very much in order to do a full set of statistics on solvability. We're talking less than 1k of storage. Sure it would take a long time to do all these calculations. But not storage. – Feb 24 '14 at 13:57.

Decided that he would start a micro-ISV to create a version of solitaire that is always winnable. This was mostly just an experiment to see what it would be like running a software company with one person, but he eventually which is still available for purchase.

There have been some estimates about the number of Klondike Solitaire games that are (no moves possible, about 1 in 400), and several guesses about how many games are, although this percentage varies wildly from 30%-10%. The difficulty of this problem stems from the sheer number of initial deals 54! That would need to be evaluated to determine which were winnable and which were not. Fortunately, one does not need to use the brute force method (look at all possible deals) to compute the odds of winning (since that computation would take longer than the age of the universe - 8x10 to the 68th power decks).
