A guide to your next move.
Spider in a smaller layout
Here are the details for this mode. Four complete same-suit King-to-Ace runs win the game. The smaller deck does not remove the need to manage suit changes. Spiderette on dlwewin.com uses one 52-card deck with all four suits. The tableau contains seven columns rather than ten.
Seven growing columns
Here are the details for this mode. The first opening column contains one card and each following column contains one more. The seventh opening column contains seven cards. Only the bottom card of each initial column is face up. The opening tableau contains 28 cards altogether.
The remaining deck
Here are the details for this mode. The stock is used in deals of seven, seven, seven and three cards. Spiderette begins with 24 cards in the stock. A full stock deal adds one card to each of the seven columns. The final stock deal contains three cards for the first three columns.
Build down by rank
Keep these points in mind. A single exposed card can land on another exposed card exactly one rank higher. A destination card may belong to a different suit. A King can enter only an empty column because no rank is higher. Any exposed card may enter an empty column.
Move a sequence
A few details help explain this feature. The selected group's leading card determines which destination rank is legal. A mixed-suit descending sequence cannot move as one group. Selecting a shorter matching segment can reveal an available group move. A movable group must be face up and descend in one suit.
Expose another card
Undo restores a hidden card's earlier state when the revealing action is reversed. No separate click is needed to reveal a newly uncovered card. An exposed hidden card can create another possible destination. Moving all exposed cards off a hidden card turns that hidden card face up.
Keep columns occupied
A stock deal may interrupt a sequence you were assembling. An empty column prevents dealing even when only the final three stock cards remain. Any valid movable group can fill an empty column. This Spiderette version requires every column to contain a card before a stock deal.
Four complete runs
Keep these points in mind. A qualifying run contains thirteen cards of one suit from King down to Ace. A complete face-up run is removed automatically from the bottom of a column. Four collected runs account for every card in the deck. One run is needed for spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds.
Learn the shorter game
The following details apply here. Replay starts the same Spiderette shuffle again. Hint suggests a legal move without checking every possible future continuation. Undo reverses a successful move or stock deal while recent history is available. A random Spiderette shuffle is not advertised as guaranteed winnable.
Return to Spiderette
A few details help explain this feature. My Statistics records Spiderette separately from standard Spider. Spiderette has its own saved position in this browser when saving is enabled. Clearing this website's local game data removes the saved Spiderette position and results. Reloading the page can resume that position.
