How it works
- Choose 1, 2 or 4 suits and press New game.
- Build down from King to Ace; move a run only if it is all one suit, and deal a new row when you are stuck.
- Each complete King-to-Ace run of one suit leaves the table; clear all eight to win.
Frequently asked questions
- What are the rules of spider solitaire?
- Two decks are dealt into ten columns. You may put any card on one rank higher, but only a run of one suit moves together. A complete run from King to Ace in one suit is removed. The stock deals one card onto every column — only when no column is empty.
- 1, 2 or 4 suits — which should I play?
- One suit is relaxing and usually winnable. Two suits needs planning. Four suits is hard even for experienced players — undo is your friend.
- Can every game be won?
- Most one-suit games can; with four suits many deals can’t be solved even with perfect play. Use undo and hints freely — it’s solitaire.
- Can I replay a deal?
- Yes — each game has a number; type it to replay the same deal.
- Is anything sent anywhere?
- No. The game runs in your browser and your statistics stay on this device.
