How to Play Spider

Clear eight same-suit King-to-Ace runs across 10 tableau columns. Flip buried cards, protect empty columns, and deal from the stock only when the board truly has nothing better left.

Read the full How to Play Spider Solitaire guide. Also see our How to Play Solitaire, How to Play FreeCell, and How to Play Tri Peaks guides.

How you win

Build eight same-suit runs from King down to Ace. Each finished run leaves the tableau. Clear all eight to win.

How cards stack

You can place a card on the next rank up even if the suits differ. Only a same-suit run moves as a group or clears off the board.

Stock and empty columns

Deal adds one card to each of the 10 columns. You cannot Deal while any column is empty, so fill the gap first.

1 Suit, 2 Suit, 4 Suit

Pick the mode on the setup screen. Move rules stay the same; more suits make clean runs harder to finish.
