I think many of us freecell fanatics would enjoy having the games rated for difficulty. It would be good if you would not include the less than 1 percent of layouts that are impossible. I assume you are doing that already. I've solved every layout I've encountered on your website.
Another possible idea (which would be more difficult to implement) would be an option to let the player arrange his/her own layout and then play it. It might be fun to devise an almost impossible layout and challenge other players to solve it.

We have attempted to rate the layouts (we call them shuffles) by difficulty, but we weren't happy with the results. We'll try again one day.
We don't select free cell games base on if they are winnable or not. Most just are. It's an easy game by that metric. It's also what makes it nice to play. Try Sea Haven Towers for a similar but harder game.
We won't likely allow designing your own layout anytime soon. I like the idea, but it's too much work given the way we have things structured. Sorry.
Have Fun,
