How do I win Spider Solitaire?
Keep these details in mind. Collect eight complete same-suit sequences from King down to Ace. Each qualifying sequence contains thirteen face-up cards. The game removes a completed sequence automatically from the bottom of a column. Clearing all eight sequences accounts for the full deck of 104 cards.
Why will a group of cards not move?
A change in suit breaks the group even when the rank order is correct. Try selecting a shorter matching segment from the bottom of the column. A group must be face up, descending by one rank at a time and entirely in one suit. A single exposed card can land on a card one rank higher regardless of suit.
Do empty columns prevent a deal?
On this website, the following points apply. A stock deal adds exactly one face-up card to each of the ten columns. The stock button cannot deal after all five stock rows have been used. Every tableau column must contain at least one card before a stock deal. Move a card or legal sequence into each empty column to meet that requirement.
Does an empty column require a King?
Keep these details in mind. Kings are allowed but are not required. 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. Empty columns must be filled before the next stock deal.
Does the game save my progress?
The key details are straightforward. Clearing browser storage, using a different device or turning saving off can remove access to that progress. The Privacy & Cookie Settings page lets you manage local saving. With saving enabled, progress is stored in this browser on this domain. Each difficulty has its own saved game.
What do Undo and Replay do?
Replay restarts the same shuffled deal from its opening position. 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. New game creates a different shuffle and replaces the current deal for that difficulty.
Can every random deal be won?
Keep these details in mind. 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. Hints do not inspect hidden cards to provide a complete solution.
Are touch controls available?
Here is what to know. 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. Dragging is also supported on the card table. Rotating your phone may give you a wider view of all ten columns.
