I've tried and I've tried and I can't make this work. It's worse than Solitaire!

I didn't save it but there was one game that was unwinnable, in that a corner square could not be navigated to. Best I could do:

ETA: The very next one was this:

I can't see how you could ever get to the bottom l.h. or top l.h. corner.

I had similar experiences using pen and paper. At first, I thought there was one standard layout and thought that it ought to be possible by looking at forced moves and joining them up. But then I noticed that the pattern changed every game, so it struck me that it was more like a game of patience with cards - where some deals are workable and some are not and that is part of the game. But it does strike me that iff you get a workable deal and iff you manage to get the right sequence of moves without recourse to pen and paper then you might have been better spending your time buying lottery tickets.

It never even occurred to me that some might just be impossible. I was just assuming I was a bit poo at it!
