Spider Solitaire: from controls to your first round
Spider Solitaire gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Complete eight same-suit king-to-ace runs. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. 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.
Practice with a purpose
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Make the next step deliberately.
The objective of a round
Complete eight same-suit king-to-ace runs. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
Step by step
- 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.
Getting comfortable with the controls
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Use one clear input at a time.
A closer look at one example
A mixed-suit descending stack cannot move as one group. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the controls nearby.
Notice this detail
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Compare the situation with the worked example. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
