Your Solitaire win percentage

64% on Freecell

How can you be less than 100% on Freecell? Especially since modern versions allow you to undo (something that cheapens it immensely if you ask me).

I mean sure, sometimes you got to get off the computer in a hurry but...

Edit:

Old thread is old.

But solitaire hasn't changed much making this thread just about as relevant as it ever was.

i use to play "speed solitaire" against a friend a few years back. we would both try to beat a game of solitaire as fast as we possibly could then send the screen shots to each other challenging the other to do better. i got 38 seconds and he finally just gave up because he couldn't beat it and i couldn't do any better.

I recently started playing Solitaire in Vista, I'm playing with 1 card draw and my percentage is 33%

I was wondering, what are you results?

My win percentage on that is horrible.. something like 7% :p

I swear, Windows vista/7 cheats!

The secret to winning a lot of games in Solitaire (Vista version), is to flip through the new games until you find a game that has and ace and two different cards that you can play. For example: and ace, a seven on an eight and a jack on a queen, or any other variation. It really works. I haven't figured out how to win each time, but my average winning percent is 84.5% after playing 2,713 games! Just make sure not to get too low of a card like a 2 or 3, or a king and queen. If you stay in the middle, you will have the best luck. Forget about a new game with 3 aces, it just looks good, but you usually lose. It really doesn't matter what cards you match, just as long as they are between Queen and 3-4. Again, you HAVE to have an ace and two sets of matching cards only. Good luck! Try it. You sometimes need to go through 10-20 games to find the right one. I always use the ?draw 3? mode, but toggle to single mode by pressing the ctrl+alt+shft keys. You can backup by pressing the ctrl+z keys. I don?t know how to post a screen shot of my statistics. Someone let me know how to do it. I will post a screen shot of my stats. I have played 2,713 games and won 2284. It's a waste of time for me to just play any game. This makes it a lot more fun. My winning percentage (f4) would be higher, if my kids weren't playing solitaire and if I was a bit more carefull.

    • To be fair, it wasn't going anywhere. Even when Windows Phone could run Android APKs, Google didn't want any of it so it'd never work and the same thing happened with Windows. It was never about the store or it's users, it was always the developers and who they aligned to.
    • Wake me up when this comes to PC. Until then... zzzzzzzz....
    • I was expecting the end of the world to happen before this game or elder scroll 6 to come out.
    • OpenAI and Broadcom unveil Jalapeño, a new AI chip built for LLM inference by Pradeep Viswanathan Image by OpenAI Thanks to the exponential growth of ChatGPT and other LLM-based applications, NVIDIA has grown from a $200 billion company into the first public company to reach a $5 trillion market cap. Even though hyperscalers such as Google and Amazon have their own mature AI accelerators, NVIDIA still dominates the AI infrastructure market with multiple generations of GPUs. Microsoft, OpenAI, and Meta remain among NVIDIA’s largest customers, while Google and Amazon continue to be significant NVIDIA customers as they serve AI workloads for customers on their cloud platforms. Today, OpenAI and Broadcom announced Jalapeño, OpenAI’s first custom “Intelligence Processor” designed specifically for large language model inference. The new chip is the first product from a multi-generation compute platform being developed by OpenAI. OpenAI highlighted that Jalapeño was built from the ground up for current and future LLM workloads, rather than being a general-purpose accelerator adapted for AI. Despite heavy competition from Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and others, ChatGPT remains the most used AI platform in the world. OpenAI mentioned that it leveraged its knowledge of how its models and products run at scale, including ChatGPT, Codex, the API, and future agentic AI systems, to design this new chipset. Its chip architecture reduces data movement while balancing compute, memory, and networking resources. Jalapeño will be deployed in production systems starting in late 2026; however, engineering samples are already running machine learning workloads in OpenAI’s labs at production target frequency and power. According to its internal testing, OpenAI claims this chip can deliver “substantially better” performance per watt, and a detailed technical report is expected in the coming months. While OpenAI designed the chip, Broadcom handled silicon implementation and networking technologies, including Tomahawk networking silicon, and Celestica is assisting with board, rack, and system-level integration. OpenAI pointed out that Jalapeño went from initial design to manufacturing tape-out in just nine months, which it claims is the fastest ASIC development cycle achieved for a high-performance advanced semiconductor. The company attributed the speed of development to its own LLMs, which were used during the chip design and optimization process. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan stated that the company's plan is to deploy the Jalapeño platform at a gigawatt scale with Microsoft and other partners starting in 2026. With Jalapeño, OpenAI joins Google, Microsoft, and Amazon to become a full-stack AI player. The company already develops models and products, and is now moving deeper into infrastructure, including chips, kernels, networking, scheduling, and deployment systems.
