Statistically one can win 9 out of 10 games.

100% can be won. Use Control/Z to undo a move or many moves, right back to the start of an individual game.

From freecell.org:

Nearly every FreeCell game can be won. Only a very few FreeCell games are unwinnable. Using the basic deal numbering system that virtually all FreeCell games use, game #11982 is the first unwinnable game of FreeCell. After that only the games #146692, #186216, #455889, #495505, #512118, #517776, and #781948 are unsolvable out of the first million games. Therefore, unsolvable games of FreeCell are literally eight out of a million.

Yes, I’ve seen reference to 100% and I do use undo/ctrl-Z to start over if need be. But I’ve got 3 different machines and right now they all say 90%+ wins.

>>100% can be won.<<

There are a small number that cannot be won. Before they expanded the number of games there was only one unwinnable game. I think there are few more now.
