NOTES FROM THE TABLE

Meet Spiderette

Keep these points in mind. Four complete same-suit King-to-Ace runs win the game. The tableau contains seven columns rather than ten. Spiderette on xpxyxx.com uses one 52-card deck with all four suits. The smaller deck does not remove the need to manage suit changes.

Seven growing columns

Here are the details for this mode. The seventh opening column contains seven cards. The first opening column contains one card and each following column contains one more. The opening tableau contains 28 cards altogether. Only the bottom card of each initial column is face up.

Twenty-four stock cards

Here are the details for this mode. A full stock deal adds one card to each of the seven columns. Spiderette begins with 24 cards in the stock. The final stock deal contains three cards for the first three columns. The stock is used in deals of seven, seven, seven and three cards.

Place an exposed card

A few details help explain this feature. A destination card may belong to a different suit. A single exposed card can land on another exposed card exactly one rank higher. A King can enter only an empty column because no rank is higher. Any exposed card may enter an empty column.

One suit travels together

A movable group must be face up and descend in one suit. Selecting a shorter matching segment can reveal an available group move. A mixed-suit descending sequence cannot move as one group. The selected group's leading card determines which destination rank is legal.

Expose another card

The following details apply here. No separate click is needed to reveal a newly uncovered card. An exposed hidden card can create another possible destination. Moving all exposed cards off a hidden card turns that hidden card face up. Undo restores a hidden card's earlier state when the revealing action is reversed.

Keep columns occupied

Here are the details for this mode. A stock deal may interrupt a sequence you were assembling. Any valid movable group can fill an empty column. This Spiderette version requires every column to contain a card before a stock deal. An empty column prevents dealing even when only the final three stock cards remain.

Collect all four suits

Keep these points in mind. One run is needed for spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds. A qualifying run contains thirteen cards of one suit from King down to Ace. A complete face-up run is removed automatically from the bottom of a column. Four collected runs account for every card in the deck.

Useful practice controls

The following details apply here. Replay starts the same Spiderette shuffle again. Undo reverses a successful move or stock deal while recent history is available. Hint suggests a legal move without checking every possible future continuation. A random Spiderette shuffle is not advertised as guaranteed winnable.
