About Spider Solitaire

Spider Solitaire uses two decks and asks for eight complete descending sequences, king down to ace, each of which is removed from the board when finished. Cards stack in descending order regardless of suit — but only a run of the same suit can be picked up and moved as a group.

That single restriction is what makes Spider the hardest of the mainstream solitaires. Building a mixed descending run looks like progress and produces a stack you can never relocate, which is how most games quietly become unwinnable well before you notice.

1. Build descending sequences down the columns.
2. Only runs of a single suit can be moved together.
3. Complete a king-to-ace run in one suit and it's removed from the board.
4. When stuck, deal a new row — one card lands on every column, ready or not.
5. Remove all eight runs to win.

Spider Solitaire tips

• Empty a column as early as you can; it's the single most valuable thing on the board.
• Always prefer a same-suit build even when an off-suit one is available.
• Expose face-down cards before making a move that only looks tidy.
• Never deal a new row while a column is empty — the deal fills it and you lose the space.
