Oooh that doesnt look good...
Yay!
I'm pathetic...
But um, hey!! 50 wins in a row.
Plus 95% on 100, no, 101 games. Ta-um-dah?

Dont take reckless risks, but its OK to be bold if you know what you're doing. Once you've got the first layers straightened out and the initial pressure is off, you'll see the game will speed up. Flowing ever more easily, and moving faster. Once the cards start slipping off toward homebase, and only then, you can allow yourself the rush and take it fast.
The good part is when you know that everything will come together, and you throw in a few hurdles to make it last longer. Leaving that last two of hearts locked under a king of diamonds until you have made all the lines stretch as long as you can. When you've done that, all you need is one more flick of a movement, and bang, satisfaction is complete.
Um.... You need to find a girl.
Is the girl at a music festival?

Dammit, what I
should have said:
If you play your cards right, you make a game last for a hour or more.
and what I should have said was - Nimh, you're amazing - I can't believe you COUNTED the number of games!

Hehheh.. luckily, all you need to do is click "Statistics" and there the numbers are. No need to count anything
one big advantage of the vista version is unlimited undo.
the old one only let you undo the most recent move.
now you can go all the way back to the beginning of a game...
@Region Philbis,
Oooh that just makes it too easy! Not fair.
Then one really has no excuse for ever losing again..
@nimh,
yup -- we've won (yawn) 145 in a row...

another by product of the "everyone gets a participation trophy' culture
sorry to say, but there are winners and losers
There's no way outta this one is there?
i remember helping a older neighbour fix something on her computer one time, and on her computer desk she had this tablet of paper with a huge list of numbers and check marks beside various numbers, and she explained that she was playing through all the available freecell games and marking off the ones she'd already beaten
aren't old people great
hey, who said "old"?
Looks like it's gonna end there ...
thank you for alerting me how best to fill my as yet unused ignore box
