Spider in a smaller layout

Here are the details for this mode. Four complete same-suit King-to-Ace runs win the game. The tableau contains seven columns rather than ten. Spiderette on jxhaishan.com uses one 52-card deck with all four suits. The smaller deck does not remove the need to manage suit changes.

The opening staircase

Here are the details for this mode. The first opening column contains one card and each following column contains one more. The seventh opening column contains seven cards. The opening tableau contains 28 cards altogether. Only the bottom card of each initial column is face up.

The remaining deck

Keep these points in mind. The stock is used in deals of seven, seven, seven and three cards. Spiderette begins with 24 cards in the stock. A full stock deal adds one card to each of the seven columns. The final stock deal contains three cards for the first three columns.

Build down by rank

A few details help explain this feature. Any exposed card may enter an empty column. A destination card may belong to a different suit. A single exposed card can land on another exposed card exactly one rank higher. A King can enter only an empty column because no rank is higher.

Move a sequence

Selecting a shorter matching segment can reveal an available group move. A movable group must be face up and descend in one suit. A mixed-suit descending sequence cannot move as one group. The selected group's leading card determines which destination rank is legal.

Expose another card

The following details apply here. No separate click is needed to reveal a newly uncovered card. Moving all exposed cards off a hidden card turns that hidden card face up. An exposed hidden card can create another possible destination. Undo restores a hidden card's earlier state when the revealing action is reversed.

Keep columns occupied

Here are the details for this mode. An empty column prevents dealing even when only the final three stock cards remain. Any valid movable group can fill an empty column. This Spiderette version requires every column to contain a card before a stock deal. A stock deal may interrupt a sequence you were assembling.

Collect all four suits

A few details help explain this feature. A complete face-up run is removed automatically from the bottom of a column. Four collected runs account for every card in the deck. A qualifying run contains thirteen cards of one suit from King down to Ace. One run is needed for spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds.

Useful practice controls

Undo reverses a successful move or stock deal while recent history is available. Replay starts the same Spiderette shuffle again. Hint suggests a legal move without checking every possible future continuation. A random Spiderette shuffle is not advertised as guaranteed winnable.
