Cruel has a redeal where the cards are collected from the tableau starting with the last pile (lower right) back to the first pile (top left), with the cards from the last pile on the bottom. They are then redealt 4 cards to a pile starting with the first pile. If this process does not change the order of the cards, the game cannot be won.
