AT THE TABLE

A guide to your next move.

Spider in a smaller layout

A few details help explain this feature. Four complete same-suit King-to-Ace runs win the game. The tableau contains seven columns rather than ten. Spiderette on yuanyeong.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

A few details help explain this feature. Only the bottom card of each initial column is face up. The first opening column contains one card and each following column contains one more. The opening tableau contains 28 cards altogether. The seventh opening column contains seven cards.

Twenty-four stock cards

Keep these points in mind. Spiderette begins with 24 cards in the stock. A full stock deal adds one card to each of the seven columns. 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.

Build down by rank

A few details help explain this feature. Any exposed card may enter an empty column. 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.

One suit travels together

Keep these points in mind. The selected group's leading card determines which destination rank is legal. 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.

Open the hidden layout

A few details help explain this feature. An exposed hidden card can create another possible destination. No separate click is needed to reveal a newly uncovered card. 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.

Prepare to use the stock

Keep these points in mind. A stock deal may interrupt a sequence you were assembling. An empty column prevents dealing even when only the final three stock cards remain. Any valid movable group can fill an empty column. This Spiderette version requires every column to contain a card before a stock deal.

Four complete runs

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

Useful practice controls

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

Return to Spiderette

A few details help explain this feature. Clearing this website's local game data removes the saved Spiderette position and results. Reloading the page can resume that position. My Statistics records Spiderette separately from standard Spider. Spiderette has its own saved position in this browser when saving is enabled.
