A guide to your next move.
Welcome to Relaxed Spider
Keep these points in mind. The game still uses 104 cards in ten columns. Relaxed Spider on dlwewin.com permits stock deals while columns are empty. The objective remains eight complete same-suit King-to-Ace runs. Choose one suit, two suits or four suits using the game controls.
Deal into empty columns
The relaxed stock rule does not allow mixed-suit groups to move together. An empty column no longer prevents a stock deal in this variant. The relaxed stock rule does not change the rank requirement for ordinary moves. A stock card dealt to an empty column becomes that column's first face-up card.
Ten columns and a stock
Keep these points in mind. The first four columns have six cards each and the remaining six have five. The opening tableau contains 54 cards. The stock contains fifty cards for five later deals. Only the bottom card of each opening column is face up.
Move a single card
Keep these points in mind. The two cards do not need to share a suit for a single-card placement. An Ace cannot receive a lower-ranked card. An exposed card may land on another exposed card exactly one rank higher. A King needs an empty destination because no rank is higher.
Follow one suit
A suit change can leave a smaller movable group at the bottom of a column. A descending group moves as a unit only when every selected card shares a suit. Same-suit building can reduce the work needed to separate mixed sequences later. A break in rank prevents the entire selected group from moving together.
Keep space available
A few details help explain this feature. Any exposed card or legal same-suit group can occupy an empty column. Empty columns remain useful for separating temporary mixed builds. You may preserve an empty column until you decide to deal from the stock. A new stock row fills every empty column with one card.
Stock deals are still shared
The following details apply here. Undo restores the previous arrangement when the stock-deal snapshot is available. A stock deal places one card onto each of the ten columns. You cannot direct an individual stock card to a chosen destination. Dealing can block an existing sequence as well as reveal new combinations.
Clear the table
The following details apply here. A complete run contains thirteen face-up cards in one suit from King to Ace. The game removes a complete run automatically at the bottom of a column. Eight collected runs are required to finish Relaxed Spider. Changing the number of suits does not change the number of required runs.
Practice the variant
Here are the details for this mode. Random relaxed deals are not presented as guaranteed solvable. Hints identify legal options without guaranteeing a win. Replay restores the same shuffle for another attempt. New game creates a fresh shuffle in the selected suit setting.
Separate variant progress
The following details apply here. Each relaxed suit setting has its own current local game. Privacy & Cookie Settings lets you turn saving off or clear local records. Relaxed Spider keeps its saved games separate from standard Spider when saving is enabled. My Statistics displays relaxed starts and wins in separate rows.
