    Is it possible to win every "difficult" game of Spider Solitaire?

    Question #95656. Asked by pu2-ke-qi-ri. (May 14 08 9:36 AM)

    		No, but you have to be pretty unfortunate to have been dealt an unwinnable hand.
    Here is a combination that allows for no moves:
    KKKKKKKKA
    JJJJJJJJA
    99999999A
    77777777A
    55555555A
    33333333A
    There are several of these combinations, but they are all very unlikely.
