Quite right - the document contradicts itself! How about changing it to 
the following:

"Allow unsolvable games
If checked, you run the risk of being presented with games that are 
impossible to solve. Note: Even when unchecked, you will fail to 
complete a game if you remove the tiles in the wrong order!"

Actually, it might be better from a usability perspective to invert the 
option and keep the existing (or similar) explanation. i.e. change the 
option to "Prevent unsolvable games". For now I think it's best to 
correct the existing documentation.

Thanks for bringing this up - I wasn't aware of this bug before now as 
as it was listed against khelpcenter and not kshisen.

Cheers,
