Max variety (Klondike)

I'm intrigued by games that no one has won yet, but that present a wide variety of scores. They seem to be not only difficult but supportive of a wide variety of paths through the game. This one has 7 different scores in the top 10 when I failed to win it, from 23 down to 12: https://greenfelt.net/klondike?game=1120063051

That’s a nice metric, @zudensternen. It would be even better we could show that the game was winnable. One problem with metrics like this though is that they are transient, i.e. once lots of people try, it can stop working. A better metric would get more accurate the more people try the game.
So far, the highest score is 25. I think it's very unwinnable.
I have often wondere4d if there is a tipping point with scores for some of the games. Is there a minimal score for which the games will be winnable? I think about that with canfield. If i get over 20 i think its always winnable. Maybe same for klondike?

@lasso, you can edit your comments to fix typos by clicking the little gear thing.
I agree that there must be a tipping point. For example 51 is clearly a tipping point for all games with a max score of 52. @david, maybe we should determine the tipping point and consider all games with scores above it to be equal?
Another highly various game: After 237 plays, 7 different scores in the top 10. Only one has won so far.

Couldn’t score on this game ... Any chance?
Game #: 1033450737
Edit update : apparently winnable, thanks @Gunman
Apparently not winnable by me. Congrats @Gunman.
To solve Game # 1033450737:
First put 2 cards on column 3 to take off column 4's top card.
Then put 6 cards on column 6 to take off column 4's top card.
Brilliant! Thanks @3bc 🙌
One has won, 7 scores in the top 10 after 276 games.
