solitaire has luck involved. every puzzle that doesn't require any luck is "solved". because that's how they're designed. puzzles usually have one way to solve them and they're specifically designed with one solution in mind. fucking sudoku is "solved". being "solved" is not a bad thing for puzzles it's a requirement for it to be any good. you're using a term that's more relevant to strategy games, like tic tac toe. not a good comparison.
Idk how you could get that from what I posted. I first of all said I didn't play minesweeper anymore because I tried it for a while and realized I could solve every board in what I felt was a trivial way. Even if solitaire isn't actually a logic puzzle by your definition I still used it as an example of a solved game that is worth replaying.
This is like if I said I don't play that placing blocks into holes anymore because I think the strategy of matching the shape in your hand with the shape of the hole in the box is boring and trivial even if you change the shapes of the blocks every time and you responded with "OH! By that logic you don't like any puzzles ever???"
