Just hit a Solitaire milestone...
I finally worked my winning percentage up to 19%.

I realize it's a small thing, but too many things have sucked for me lately not to take some pleasure in this.

Any of you still playing the original?

Yup, the original Microsoft solitaire which I ported to Win10. Great when insomnia hits hard. Haven't hit new high scores or quick solves much in recent years. Guess I've slowed down with age. Big Grin

FreeCell is more my jam. Every game except one has a solution.

I play a game of solitaire and a game of free cell right before lights out each night on my iPad. They are the daily challenge games so the games keep my records.

I have an old Palm Pilot from around 1996 that I keep just for playing solitaire. I at least play 25 games per day on it. My friend laugh that I still have that ancient device.

If you want to try a hard game of solitaire download Churchill Solitare. You can see how game is played with free download but additional deal packages cost.
