There are some distinction between Sagecell and Sagemath notebooks. For instance the option "simpy" of "solve" does not work with Sagecel. Why ? I have also observe that under Lin ux the current version is Sagemath 9.2. Is it the current Sagecell version (I dont think so) ? Under Windows we are stiked to 9.1 (until now)

But the option algorithm="sympy" does…

Why ?

Because there ain’t no bloody option “simpy” in solve. There is an option “algorithm”, that accepts the “sympy” value…

I have also observe that under Lin ux the current version is Sagemath 9.2. Is it the current Sagecell version (I dont think so) ?

As of Nov 12, 2020 11:39;57 CET, sagecell.sagemath.org runs 9.1.

to 9.1 (until now)

Building and running Sage under Cygwin is an astonishing feat (mostly done by E. Madison Bray, to whom thanks and kudos must go). Updating this feat for each new version takes time…

It would be very helpful for us to see what code you tried that does work in Sage command line that doesn't in Sage cell.  As Emmanuel indicates, most likely it is a simple typing error - I know that happens to me all the time.

To elaborate, Sage cell usually takes some time to carefully check whether there are any changes in how it processes with each stable Sage version.  It usually updates a week or two later - you can follow the progress on sage-cell Google group, where Andrey Novoseltsev does a very good job of posting when updates occur.

This command will let you know what version of Sage is currently running:

    sage: version()

You can use it in SageCell if you need to check what version of Sage

is installed there. You can use it on your own installation too.
