NOTES FROM THE TABLE
How do I win Spider Solitaire?

The key details are straightforward. Collect eight complete same-suit sequences from King down to Ace. The game removes a completed sequence automatically from the bottom of a column. Each qualifying sequence contains thirteen face-up cards. Clearing all eight sequences accounts for the full deck of 104 cards.

Why will a group of cards not move?

On this website, the following points apply. Try selecting a shorter matching segment from the bottom of the column. A change in suit breaks the group even when the rank order is correct. A single exposed card can land on a card one rank higher regardless of suit. A group must be face up, descending by one rank at a time and entirely in one suit.

Why can I not deal from the stock?

The key details are straightforward. A stock deal adds exactly one face-up card to each of the ten columns. Every tableau column must contain at least one card before a stock deal. The stock button cannot deal after all five stock rows have been used. Move a card or legal sequence into each empty column to meet that requirement.

Can I put any card in an empty column?

Keep these details in mind. Empty columns must be filled before the next stock deal. An empty column accepts any exposed card or movable same-suit sequence. A King needs an empty column because it cannot land on another rank. Kings are allowed but are not required.

Does the game save my progress?

On this website, the following points apply. Each difficulty has its own saved game. Clearing browser storage, using a different device or turning saving off can remove access to that progress. With saving enabled, progress is stored in this browser on this domain. The Privacy & Cookie Settings page lets you manage local saving.

What do Undo and Replay do?

Keep these details in mind. Replay restarts the same shuffled deal from its opening position. New game creates a different shuffle and replaces the current deal for that difficulty. Undo reverses a recent successful move or stock deal, including automatic flips and collections. Up to 200 recent action snapshots are retained when storage permits.

Does Hint guarantee a solution?

Here is what to know. Hints do not inspect hidden cards to provide a complete solution. Hint suggests a legal move from the visible position. Undo or Replay can help you explore a different approach when progress stalls. The game uses random shuffles and does not promise that every deal is winnable.

Are touch controls available?

Keep these details in mind. Tap a movable card or the first card of a matching descending group, then tap a destination column. The mobile menu opens from the menu icon at the top of the page. Rotating your phone may give you a wider view of all ten columns. Dragging is also supported on the card table.

Do I need an account or a download?

JavaScript must be enabled for interactive play. No player account, purchase or app installation is required. The learning pages remain readable without JavaScript. The Spider game runs in your browser after the page and its resources load.
