Are all FreeCell games winnable?

FreeCardGamesAre all FreeCellgameswinnable?Almost. Just one of 32,000 can't be won.

Almost, but not quite. FreeCell is winnable far more often than most solitaires because all 52 cards sit face-up from the start, so you can see everything and plan the whole game before you move. The version that shipped with Windows used a fixed set of 32,000 numbered deals.

In the 1990s a volunteer project set out to solve every one and cleared all but a single deal, number 11982, which has no winning line. That works out to 31,999 of 32,000, about 99.997%. A later research solver measured FreeCell on random deals at roughly 99.999%, landing in the same range. So nearly every FreeCell deal can be won, just not literally all of them.
