Isn’t it possible you can lose even after you’ve revealed every card because the order they’re in doesn’t allow you to put them away correctly?

Think of it this way: what is the next, smallest card that needs to be put on one of the target packs? That will necessarily be at the bottom of one of the rows, since all of those are strictly ordered in an ascending order. Put that card in its place. Now do this again and again until all the rows are gone at which point you solved the game. (Not sure about the correct terminology, hope it makes sense)
