Is Solitare (Draw 3) still the hardest of the basic card games to win?

I am talking about computer card games. The basic ones. I have a app on my Mac Desktop and play a lot of card games at times. Solitare, FreeCell, Pyramid, Spider Solitaire etc.
I can win just about every one of the games at least 40% of the time other than basic 3 card draw solitaire.
Seems that game is just not winnable 75% of the time

I can beat its arse most of the time. Two suits.
I think it has a higher win ratio using two suits. I have won 3 suits once and never even got close on 4 suits

For a standard game of Klondike of the forms Draw 3, Re-Deal Infinite, and Win 52, the number of possible hands is over 8×1067, or an 8 followed by 67 zeros. About 79% of the games are theoretically winnable,[3] but people do not win 79% of the games they start because they make a wrong move during play

Another recent study has found the Draw 3, Re-Deal Infinite to have a 83.6% win rate after 1000 random games were solved by a computer solver.

The issue is that a wrong move cannot be known in advance whenever more than one move is possible. The number of games a player can probabilistically expect to win is at least 43%.

In my opinion, one of the easier games. Not sure why. I have never played a free cell game I can not win. I may not win the first time but I can go back and replay and win
Penguin is a fun game. Very challenging. I think it is also called Russian solitaire.

92% win rate.
As I recall, there were only 3 (out of 32k the RNG supported) hands in the game that couldn't be won.
Something like that.. but I'm too lazy to google now....

I'm a little over 10% on Vegas style solitaire.
