About
Spider Solitaire uses two decks of cards spread across ten columns. Your goal is to complete eight runs from King down to Ace, each in a single suit. Choose one, two or four suits. You can play free in your browser on a computer, phone or tablet, without downloading anything or signing up.
The game has unlimited undo, hints and keyboard play, plus a timer and move counter. Your score starts at 500. Each move, including undo, costs one point, and each completed run adds 100. The deal number lets you restart the same layout or copy a link to it. Daily Deal has a shared daily layout for each of the one-suit and two-suit modes.
How to play
- Start with 54 cards in ten columns: six in each of the first four columns and five in each remaining column. Only the top card of each column is face up.
- Move a face-up card onto a card one rank higher, regardless of suit.
- Move several cards together only when they form a descending run in the same suit.
- Place any card or movable run in an empty column. When you uncover a face-down card, it turns face up.
- Build a complete run from King down to Ace in one suit. It leaves the board automatically.
- Deal from the stock when you need more cards, first making sure every column contains at least one card. Each deal adds one card to every column; five deals are available.
- Clear all eight complete runs to win.
Tips
- Focus on uncovering face-down cards to give yourself more choices.
- Build same-suit runs so you can move several cards together.
- Use an empty column to make room while reorganizing cards.
- Fill every empty column before trying to deal from the stock.
- Use hints when you need a suggestion, or undo to revisit a move.
