Supposedly there are some unsolvables at least in the MS version:

Wikipedia:

The original Microsoft FreeCell package includes 32,000 games, generated by a 15-bit, pseudorandom-number seed. These games are known as the “Microsoft 32,000”.[3] All but one of these hands have been completed.[5] Later versions of FreeCell include more than one million hands.[3] When Microsoft FreeCell became very popular during the 1990s, the Internet FreeCell Project attempted to solve all the deals by crowdsourcing consecutive games to specific people. The project ran from August 1994 to April 1995, and only one game proved unwinnable.[7] Out of the current Microsoft Windows games, eight are unsolvable.[

Yes, that is correct. All games in FreeCell are winnable.

No....there is one known impossible to win game! Now you are going to ask me the number. It’s in the 13,000’s, that all I can remember.
