Your guide to Spider Solitaire
Spider Solitaire gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Complete eight same-suit king-to-ace runs. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. Look at what changes after your first action.
Two decks, one/two/four suits; fill every column before a ten-card stock deal. Free solo play, no wagering.
A focus for your next round
When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your goal
Complete eight same-suit king-to-ace runs. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
The playing sequence
- Build down by rank. Only descending same-suit groups move together. Empty columns accept any movable group.
- Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
- Use foundations where available; full Spider or Scorpion runs clear automatically.
- Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.
The controls to know
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
An example to follow
A mixed-suit descending stack cannot move as one group. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Notice the change in the playing area.
A common point of confusion
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Compare the situation with the worked example. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
