Are some solitaire games unsolvable?
Overall, almost 80% of solitaire games are winnable, but players do not win 80% of games played. That is because at least one bad move results in the game being un-winnable. If one lets the cards from the final pile be moved back to the table in order to create more moves, then the odds do go up between 82% and 92%.
