Three free cells are occupied, no tableau column is empty, and almost the entire deal is still in play. The position looks cramped because the cards that eventually release the club foundation are not yet available in the order you want them.
Yes. Puzzle #3 is a verified solvable position derived from Microsoft Deal #6182. The saved board state sits on a legal winning line and has been replay-checked from the original numbered deal through to a completed game.
This position is derived from Microsoft Deal #6182, another deal listed as Very Difficult. The verified continuation initially makes the board look worse by putting the 6♠ into the last free cell. That uncovers the chain that lets the low clubs clear and gives the position room to breathe.
A verified continuation begins 6♠ → free cell 4. The exposed Ace and 2 of Clubs can then clear safely; 3♣ follows, after which 8♠ can be parked and the club foundation can continue. The key is accepting a fully occupied free-cell row for a moment to unlock the lower cards.
