Why does the autocomplete feature on computer solitaire work?

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?

Yes, it is true that some games are unwinnable! However, many computer programs for playing solitaire have a special piece of code inside them that makes sure any game you’re presented with is winnable in some way, just to keep people who aren’t as aware as you are from feeling cheated. Plus, some programs might even figure out a solution before showing you the cards so that, even if you completely mess up, they can plot a route of undoing, redoing, and doing differently to get to the end.
