NOTES FROM THE TABLE
How do I win Spider Solitaire?

On this website, the following points apply. Each qualifying sequence contains thirteen face-up cards. The game removes a completed sequence automatically from the bottom of a column. Collect eight complete same-suit sequences from King down to Ace. Clearing all eight sequences accounts for the full deck of 104 cards.

What makes a sequence movable?

Keep these details in mind. Try selecting a shorter matching segment from the bottom of the column. A group must be face up, descending by one rank at a time and entirely in one suit. A change in suit breaks the group even when the rank order is correct. A single exposed card can land on a card one rank higher regardless of suit.

Do empty columns prevent a deal?

Every tableau column must contain at least one card before a stock deal. A stock deal adds exactly one face-up card to each of the ten columns. The stock button cannot deal after all five stock rows have been used. Move a card or legal sequence into each empty column to meet that requirement.

Does an empty column require a King?

The key details are straightforward. Kings are allowed but are not required. An empty column accepts any exposed card or movable same-suit sequence. A King needs an empty column because it cannot land on another rank. Empty columns must be filled before the next stock deal.

Can I return to the same deal?

The key details are straightforward. With saving enabled, progress is stored in this browser on this domain. Clearing browser storage, using a different device or turning saving off can remove access to that progress. The Privacy & Cookie Settings page lets you manage local saving. Each difficulty has its own saved game.

What do Undo and Replay do?

On this website, the following points apply. Up to 200 recent action snapshots are retained when storage permits. Undo reverses a recent successful move or stock deal, including automatic flips and collections. New game creates a different shuffle and replaces the current deal for that difficulty. Replay restarts the same shuffled deal from its opening position.

Does Hint guarantee a solution?

The key details are straightforward. Hints do not inspect hidden cards to provide a complete solution. Hint suggests a legal move from the visible position. Undo or Replay can help you explore a different approach when progress stalls. The game uses random shuffles and does not promise that every deal is winnable.

Are touch controls available?

Tap a movable card or the first card of a matching descending group, then tap a destination column. The mobile menu opens from the menu icon at the top of the page. Rotating your phone may give you a wider view of all ten columns. Dragging is also supported on the card table.

Where does the game run?

Keep these details in mind. No player account, purchase or app installation is required. JavaScript must be enabled for interactive play. The Spider game runs in your browser after the page and its resources load. The learning pages remain readable without JavaScript.
