How do you play Spider Solitaire?
Spider Solitaire is played with two decks in ten columns. Build cards down in order, king to ace. Cards of one suit that are in order move together as a run. A full run of thirteen cards in one suit leaves the table. Remove all eight runs to win. One suit is the easiest, four suits the hardest.
Klondike solitaire rules
- The game uses 104 cards. Fifty-four are dealt into ten columns with only the top cards face up. The other fifty wait in the stock.
- Any card may be placed on a card one rank higher, whatever the suit: a 6 on any 7.
- Cards that are in order and of one suit move together as a run. Mixed suits move one card at a time.
- Any card or run may be moved to an empty column.
- Tap the stock to deal one new card onto every column. There are five deals. Here you may deal even when a column is empty.
- A complete run from king down to ace in one suit is removed from the table.
- You win when all eight runs are removed.
Spider Solitaire tips
- Build in one suit whenever you can. A mixed pile is in order but cannot move as a whole.
- Empty a column early and keep it free as long as possible. It is your working space for sorting piles.
- Turn over face-down cards before you deal from the stock. A deal covers every column.
- Before a deal, tidy up: join what can be joined, because the new cards will block your runs.
- Start with one suit, move to two when you win often, and keep four suits for a real test.

Spider Solitaire questions
How do you play Spider Solitaire?
Build cards down in order in the ten columns. Runs in one suit move together. Complete a run from king to ace in one suit and it leaves the table. Clear all eight runs to win.
What is the difference between 1, 2 and 4 suits?
With one suit every card is a spade, so every ordered pile can move. Two suits use spades and hearts, and four suits use the full decks. More suits mean more piles that cannot move together, so the game gets much harder.
Can every Spider Solitaire deal be won?
No. Deals are shuffled fairly and some cannot be won, most often with four suits. The daily Spider deal is not guaranteed to be winnable either. You can undo as far back as you like and try another way.
Do I need to fill every column before dealing?
Not here. Many versions refuse to deal while a column is empty. This one lets you deal at any time, so you never have to break a pile just to fill a space.
Is Spider Solitaire free, and does it use real money?
It is free and never uses real money: no deposits, no cash prizes and no betting. The site is paid for by ads.
