Spider solitaire rules

Spider uses two decks: 104 cards. Fifty-four are dealt into ten columns, six in the first four and five in the others, with the top card of each face up. The remaining fifty form the stock, dealt ten at a time, one onto every column. You cannot deal while any column is empty.

You can place a card on any card one rank higher, but only a run that is ordered and all the same suit can be moved as a group. Empty columns accept any card or run, which makes them extremely valuable. When a column ends in a complete King-to-Ace run of one suit, it is cleared to the foundation automatically.

1 suit

All spades. A relaxing game that is won most of the time.

2 suits

Spades and hearts. A real challenge that needs planning.

4 suits

The full game. Hard, with a low win rate even for experts.

Spider solitaire FAQ

Why can't I deal a new row?

Classic rules forbid dealing while a column is empty. Move any card into the empty column first.

How is the score calculated?

You start with 500 points, lose 1 per move or deal, and gain 100 for every completed run.

Can I move mixed-suit runs?

No. Mixed-suit runs must be broken up and moved one same-suit piece at a time.

Are completed runs removed automatically?

Yes. As soon as a column ends with King to Ace in one suit, the run moves to the completed pile.

Are stats kept for each difficulty?

Yes. Games played, wins and best score are tracked separately for 1, 2 and 4 suits in this browser.
