How to play Spider Solitaire
Build complete King-to-Ace runs in the most approachable Spider format. The board above uses a deterministic shuffle, so a shared Deal ID recreates the same opening layout.
- Build cards downward by rank.
- Move multi-card runs only when every card is in the same suit.
- Complete a King-to-Ace suited run to remove it.
- Deal one card to every column from the stock; no column may be empty first.
Strategy that matters
- Create empty columns before dealing again.
- Consolidate same-suit runs whenever possible.
- Delay stock deals until useful tableau moves are exhausted.
Why this version feels different
True Solitaire keeps the playing surface in front of you. Hints describe a legal action without pretending a heuristic move guarantees a win. Undo, numbered deals, themes, card sizing, and local statistics are available without an account.
Keyboard controls
Press N for a new deal, D for the daily deal, H for a hint, Z to undo, Y to redo, R to restart, and S for settings.
