Cannot close solitaire app on wife's macbbok pro

Question

My wife tried mto end Solitaie App on the laptop and could not do so. I tried to force quit and could not. My cursor is active and can move. I can open the window to force quit. It has an icon for the Solitaire App and the Finder, with the solitaire App highlighted. But when I click on Force click, nothing happens.

plafleche,
in the Finder, press Command-Shift-U to bring up the Utilities menu, and run Terminal there. In the Terminal window, give it the following command, followed by pressing the Return key:
ps -x | grep -i 'Solitare\.app' | awk '{ print $1 }'
(Substitute Solitare above with whatever the full name of the game is, as shown in the Applications folder.) If successful, it will return a number. If it returns nothing, or if it returns more than one number, or if it returns something non-numeric, do not follow the steps below; only follow them if a single number is returned.
With the single number that was returned, try each of these commands in Terminal one at a time. One of these commands should end the game; once the game is ended, you don’t need to continue trying the remaining commands.
kill -s TERM number
kill -s HUP number
kill -s INT number
kill -s KILL number
