Meet Spiderette
Keep these points in mind. Four complete same-suit King-to-Ace runs win the game. The smaller deck does not remove the need to manage suit changes. Spiderette on pewtgssb.com uses one 52-card deck with all four suits. The tableau contains seven columns rather than ten.
The opening staircase
The first opening column contains one card and each following column contains one more. The seventh opening column contains seven cards. Only the bottom card of each initial column is face up. The opening tableau contains 28 cards altogether.
The remaining deck
The final stock deal contains three cards for the first three columns. A full stock deal adds one card to each of the seven columns. Spiderette begins with 24 cards in the stock. The stock is used in deals of seven, seven, seven and three cards.
Build down by rank
A few details help explain this feature. A destination card may belong to a different suit. A single exposed card can land on another exposed card exactly one rank higher. Any exposed card may enter an empty column. A King can enter only an empty column because no rank is higher.
Move a sequence
Here are the details for this mode. A movable group must be face up and descend in one suit. Selecting a shorter matching segment can reveal an available group move. The selected group's leading card determines which destination rank is legal. A mixed-suit descending sequence cannot move as one group.
Open the hidden layout
Keep these points in mind. 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
Here are the details for this mode. Any valid movable group can fill an empty column. An empty column prevents dealing even when only the final three stock cards remain. This Spiderette version requires every column to contain a card before a stock deal. A stock deal may interrupt a sequence you were assembling.
Collect all four suits
Here are the details for this mode. A complete face-up run is removed automatically from the bottom of a column. A qualifying run contains thirteen cards of one suit from King down to Ace. One run is needed for spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds. Four collected runs account for every card in the deck.
Useful practice controls
Keep these points in mind. Undo reverses a successful move or stock deal while recent history is available. Hint suggests a legal move without checking every possible future continuation. A random Spiderette shuffle is not advertised as guaranteed winnable. Replay starts the same Spiderette shuffle again.
