How do I win Spider Solitaire?
The key details are straightforward. Collect eight complete same-suit sequences from King down to Ace. Clearing all eight sequences accounts for the full deck of 104 cards. Each qualifying sequence contains thirteen face-up cards. The game removes a completed sequence automatically from the bottom of a column.
What makes a sequence movable?
Keep these details in mind. A group must be face up, descending by one rank at a time and entirely in one suit. Try selecting a shorter matching segment from the bottom of the column. 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.
Why can I not deal from the stock?
Here is what to know. 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. Move a card or legal sequence into each empty column to meet that requirement. The stock button cannot deal after all five stock rows have been used.
Can I put any card in an empty column?
On this website, the following points apply. An empty column accepts any exposed card or movable same-suit sequence. Kings are allowed but are not required. Empty columns must be filled before the next stock deal. A King needs an empty column because it cannot land on another rank.
Does the game save my progress?
The Privacy & Cookie Settings page lets you manage local saving. With saving enabled, progress is stored in this browser on this domain. Each difficulty has its own saved game. Clearing browser storage, using a different device or turning saving off can remove access to that progress.
How can I revisit an earlier position?
The key details are straightforward. New game creates a different shuffle and replaces the current deal for that difficulty. Replay restarts the same shuffled deal from its opening position. Undo reverses a recent successful move or stock deal, including automatic flips and collections. Up to 200 recent action snapshots are retained when storage permits.
Can every random deal be won?
On this website, the following points apply. Undo or Replay can help you explore a different approach when progress stalls. Hints do not inspect hidden cards to provide a complete solution. The game uses random shuffles and does not promise that every deal is winnable. Hint suggests a legal move from the visible position.
How do I play on a phone?
On this website, the following points apply. Tap a movable card or the first card of a matching descending group, then tap a destination column. Dragging is also supported on the card table. Rotating your phone may give you a wider view of all ten columns. The mobile menu opens from the menu icon at the top of the page.
