Your one-suit table
Keep these details in mind. Use the difficulty links whenever you want to try two or four suits. Every deal contains 104 cards, so each rank appears eight times. The homepage starts a one-suit game of Spider Solitaire with spades. There is no countdown or entry fee for the game.
Eight complete runs
The key details are straightforward. The run counter shows how many complete sequences you have collected. A completed run contains thirteen spades in order from King down to Ace. The game removes a full face-up run automatically when it forms at the bottom of a column. Clear eight runs to finish the deal.
Read the opening layout
The key details are straightforward. The opening tableau has ten columns and 54 cards. Only the bottom card of each starting column is face up. The remaining fifty cards form five stock deals of ten cards each. The first four columns contain six cards each, and the other six contain five.
Find a legal destination
Keep these details in mind. Place a face-up card on another exposed card exactly one rank higher. An Ace ends a descending sequence and cannot accept another card on top. For example, a seven can move onto an eight, while a queen can move onto a king. A descending same-suit sequence can move together as one group.
Use an empty column
An empty column can help you separate a sequence or uncover a hidden card. Every column must contain a card before you can deal from the stock. Any exposed card or movable sequence can enter an empty column. You do not have to reserve empty columns for Kings.
Reveal more choices
Here is what to know. Look across the whole tableau before committing a valuable empty column. Removing the last face-up card above a hidden card turns that hidden card face up. Revealing a card gives you another possible destination or starting point. A move that uncovers a card may be more useful than one that merely rearranges a visible sequence.
Deal from the stock
On this website, the following points apply. Each deal may open a useful move or interrupt a sequence you were building. A stock deal is available only when no column is empty. You cannot choose which column receives an individual stock card. The stock button deals one face-up card onto each of the ten columns.
Ways to move cards
Undo reverses the last successful move or stock deal while history is available. You can also drag a card or a same-suit sequence to another column. Click or tap the first card of a movable sequence, then choose a destination column. The Hint button points to a legal option without promising a winning solution.
