Choose a starting deal

Enter a whole deal number between 1 and 4294967295. Numbered Deals lets you choose a reproducible Spider starting layout on jxhaishan.com. Select one suit, two suits or four suits before loading the deal. The number and suit setting together identify the starting shuffle.

Use the controls

The Deal number field accepts positive whole numbers within the displayed range. Load deal applies the number and suit setting in the controls. Loading a different number can replace progress saved for the same mode and suit setting. An active unfinished game asks for confirmation before loading another selection.

Number and suits belong together

A few details help explain this feature. Changing the suit setting changes the deck used to create the deal. Move choices after the opening are entirely up to the player. The same deal number and suit setting produce the same opening cards with this game's shuffle algorithm. A deal number identifies a starting layout rather than a saved position halfway through play.

Share a starting point

The following details apply here. Copy deal link includes the selected number and suit setting in the page's link fragment. Sharing a link does not transfer another player's move history or statistics. A shared numbered link opens the corresponding starting deal or matching local progress. When automatic copying is unavailable, the game displays a selectable link field.

Collect eight sequences

Keep these points in mind. A full descending sequence containing different suits stays on the tableau. Numbered Spider uses 104 cards arranged in ten columns with a stock pile. A qualifying face-up run is removed automatically. Win by completing eight same-suit King-to-Ace sequences.

Build by rank

Keep these points in mind. The destination card may belong to another suit in standard Spider. A descending same-suit group can move together as one unit. An exposed card can move onto a card exactly one rank higher. Any legal movable group may enter an empty column.

The stock requirement

Fill every empty column before using the stock. Undo can restore the position before a stock deal while the snapshot is available. Five stock deals are available at the beginning of a numbered game. Each stock deal adds one card to each of the ten columns.

Replay and new numbers

Here are the details for this mode. New game chooses another deal number for the current suit setting. The current number remains visible beside the game controls. Comparing different openings on one number can help you study your own decisions. Replay resets the current number to its original shuffle.

A reproducible deal is not a proof

A few details help explain this feature. The Hint button reports legal options rather than solving the whole game. Numbered shuffles are not advertised as guaranteed winnable. Winning Deals provides a separate collection with verified legal solutions. Some choices can make a position harder even when another line might succeed.
