How to play Spider Solitaire
Start Spider Solitaire by looking at the playing area and its controls. Complete eight same-suit king-to-ace runs. Use the example below to understand a decision. Begin with the solo mode shown on the page. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Two decks, one/two/four suits; fill every column before a ten-card stock deal. Free solo play, no wagering.
Make the controls familiar
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Keep the objective visible.
Your goal
Complete eight same-suit king-to-ace runs. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Start with a deliberate move.
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 careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. A new-round button replaces the current round.
A useful example
A mixed-suit descending stack cannot move as one group. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the controls nearby.
Watch out for this
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Compare the situation with the worked example. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
