THE PLAYBOOK · DNNINDIA
Read before your next round of Spider Solitaire
Try Spider Solitaire at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Complete eight same-suit king-to-ace runs. Use the example below to understand a decision. Begin with the solo mode shown on the page. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Two decks, one/two/four suits; fill every column before a ten-card stock deal. Free solo play, no wagering.
Something to practise
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Make the next step deliberately.
What counts as success
Complete eight same-suit king-to-ace runs. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Keep the controls in easy reach.
Work through the instructions
- Build down by rank. Only descending same-suit groups move together. Empty columns accept any movable group.
- Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
- Use foundations where available; full Spider or Scorpion runs clear automatically.
- Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.
Your inputs
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
See how the rules apply
A mixed-suit descending stack cannot move as one group. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Take a moment to compare.
Check this before moving on
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
