We continually listen to feedback and update the game. The layout and gameplay remain as it has always been, but the design and animations have been updated, so they feel crisp and modern. We've taken great care trying to modernize this timeless classic. To this day, it remains one of the most popular Patience games out there, and we can understand why. The game was first popularized by Microsoft, who packaged the game along with Windows 3.0, and since then, more than 20 billion solitaire games have been played. Some games are excruciatingly challenging to solve! But don't be fooled by the fact that almost every game is solvable. A more accurate way to put it would be that it's a strategy-based game, where luck plays a bigger part in games such as Classic Solitaire and Spider Solitaire. This leads many people to think that it's an easier card game than most other types of solitaire. It's been calculated that 99.999% of games are winnable, which is above and beyond the effective win rate for most Patience games. FreeCell Solitaire is fundamentality different from most solitaire games in that almost every game can be won.
