How to play Spider solitaire
- The deal: 104 cards (two decks). Ten columns get 54 of them, with only the top card of each face up; the other 50 wait in the stock.
- Build down: put any card on a card one higher, whatever its suit: a 6 on a 7.
- Move runs of one suit: cards in order and of the same suit move together. A mixed run has to come apart first.
- Finish runs: a full run of one suit from King down to Ace comes off the table by itself.
- Deal a row: tap the stock to put one new card on every column. Every column needs at least one card first.
- Win by finishing all eight runs. Your score starts at 500, goes down one for every move and up 100 for every finished run.
One suit, two suits or four?
| Suits | Cards | How hard |
|---|---|---|
| One suit | Eight sets of spades | Easy: every card can join the run under it |
| Two suits | Four sets of spades and four of hearts | Medium: the daily deal |
| Four suits | Two full decks | Hard: plan carefully and use empty columns well |
Strategy tips
- Turn cards over. A move that shows a face-down card is nearly always worth more than one that doesn't.
- Build in suit when you can. A 6 of hearts on a 7 of hearts can move on later; on a 7 of spades it's stuck there.
- Empty a column. An empty column takes any card or run, and is the most useful space in the game.
- Tidy up before you deal. A new row lands on every column, so make every move you can first.
- Use Hint to learn. It shows the next move of a way to win from where you are.
Questions
Can every Spider deal be won?
Not every random deal can. Here every deal is checked by our solver first, so you only get deals that can be won (you can turn on random deals in Options).
How is Spider scored?
You start with 500 points, lose one for each move and gain 100 for each finished run, so a quick game scores more.
Is it free?
Yes. One, two and four suits, the daily deal, hints and undo are all free, with no sign-up or pop-ups. The optional Puzzle Pack, a one-time $2.99 upgrade, adds premium card backs and tables here and in the other Yuzool puzzle games. Gameplay stays the same.
