Fair Deal is a classic card game (Klondike and FreeCell) built around one idea no other card app will commit to: you can stop at any moment and ask it whether the deal you are playing is still winnable — and it will answer you honestly, including "we couldn't work it out". WHY THAT MATTERS Other card apps will happily deal you only solvable games. Fine — so do we. But when you get stuck, all they tell you is "press undo and try again." Fair Deal runs a real solver on your device. Tap "Is this deal still winnable?" and it searches, then gives you one of three answers: • Still solvable — there is a path to victory from right here. • No longer solvable — and, when it can prove it, the exact move after which no solution existed. Stated as a fact, never as an accusation. • "We couldn't work it out." We will not report a guess as a proof. WE PUBLISH THE NUMBER NOBODY ELSE WILL Open the Fairness page. It says, in plain language, the thing every card app leaves out: "Solvable" means solvable IF you could see the face-down cards. You cannot. So luck still exists. We can promise this deal is not a dead end. We cannot promise you will win. And we show you the measured gap: • A random Klondike deal: 81.9% have a solution. Our blind AI — which sees exactly what you see — wins 7.6% of them. • Our verified deals: 100% have a solution. That same blind AI wins 30%. The number we are proudest of: 45% of the deals you lose are still solvable at the moment you give up. You just did not find it. That is exactly why undo, hints, restart and the solver are free here — forever, with no ad to watch. Locking them behind an ad would mean charging you to find out you still had a chance. WHAT'S INSIDE • Klondike — draw 1 or draw 3. Every deal verified solvable before it is dealt. • FreeCell — with the original deal numbers. Deal #11982, famously the only unsolvable one of the original 32000, is unsolvable here too. • "Is this deal still winnable?" — a real solver, on your device, free, forever. • Unlimited undo. Tap-to-move as well as drag (dragging is hard with arthritic hands). • Four-colour deck and large-text options. • Card backs and table felts to collect. • Plays offline. No account. No energy system. No coin betting. FAIR BY DESIGN • Undo, hints, restart, new deal, the solver: always free, never behind an ad. • The banner never covers the cards — the layout reserves space for it. • Interstitials only after a WIN, at most one per three wins, never after a loss. • No energy system, no timers, nothing you have to wait for. No wagering, no chips, no real-money play, no payouts. Coins are earned by winning and spend only on cosmetics.
