How to play Spider Solitaire
Spider Solitaire gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Complete eight same-suit king-to-ace runs. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Use the example below to understand a decision.
Two decks, one/two/four suits; fill every column before a ten-card stock deal. Free solo play, no wagering.
Keep the aim in sight
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Make the next step deliberately.
Your goal
Complete eight same-suit king-to-ace runs. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Check the rules when you are unsure.
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.
Controls
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Look at the feedback after the action.
A useful example
A mixed-suit descending stack cannot move as one group. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Check the stated objective.
Watch out for this
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Compare the situation with the worked example. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
