How to play Spider Solitaire
A round of Spider Solitaire at PT-BUS begins with understanding the objective. Complete eight same-suit king-to-ace runs. The learning focus here is build a repeatable approach, supported by the rule notes below.
Two decks, one/two/four suits; fill every column before a ten-card stock deal. Free solo play, no wagering.
Build a repeatable approach
Try a consistent sequence of observing, choosing and checking the result. Keep the sequence even when the position or challenge changes.
Your goal
Complete eight same-suit king-to-ace runs.
Step by step
- Build down by rank. Only descending same-suit groups move together. Empty columns accept any movable group.
- Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
- Use foundations where available; full Spider or Scorpion runs clear automatically.
- Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.
Controls
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown.
A useful example
A mixed-suit descending stack cannot move as one group.
Watch out for this
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy.
