How to play Spider Solitaire

Choose Spider Solitaire at SLTPPF for a browser session with its rules close at hand. The aim is straightforward: Complete eight same-suit king-to-ace runs. This edition highlights rules before speed.

Two decks, one/two/four suits; fill every column before a ten-card stock deal. Free solo play, no wagering.

Rules before speed

Work slowly for one round. Explain the rule behind each choice before trying to improve your score or completion time.

Your goal

Complete eight same-suit king-to-ace runs.

Step by step

  1. Build down by rank. Only descending same-suit groups move together. Empty columns accept any movable group.
  2. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
  3. Use foundations where available; full Spider or Scorpion runs clear automatically.
  4. 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.

A useful example

A mixed-suit descending stack cannot move as one group.

Watch out for this

Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy.
