Spider Solitaire

Play Spider Solitaire for free in your browser with one, two or four suits. No sign-up and no download.

Spider is played with two standard 52-card decks, 104 cards in all. The number of suits sets the difficulty: with one suit every card is a spade, with two suits there are spades and hearts, and with four suits every suit is in play.

Build eight complete runs from king down to ace in the columns, each in a single suit. A complete run leaves the table by itself, and you win when all eight runs are done.

• 10 columns: the first four get 6 cards and the other six get 5 cards. The top card of each column is face up.
• Stock: the remaining 50 cards stay in the stock, enough for five deals.
• Completed runs: eight places along the top of the table.

• A card can go on any card one rank higher. The suit does not matter: the 7 of hearts goes on any 8.
• Several cards move together only if they are of the same suit and in falling order, for example the 9, 8 and 7 of spades.
• Any card or run can go into an empty column.
• When a face-down card ends up on top, it is turned face up.
• The stock deals one card to every column at once. You cannot deal while any column is empty.
• When a column holds a run of one suit from king to ace, the run moves off the table to the completed runs.

With one suit every card fits the same run, so this is the easiest version and the best place to start.

With two suits you have to keep spades and hearts apart, and with four suits the game is by far the hardest. You can change the number of suits in the settings.

• Tap a card and it moves to a good place: first onto a card of the same suit, then onto another card one rank higher, and last into an empty column. You can also drag cards and runs.
• Tap the stock to deal a card to every column.
• Undo takes back moves one at a time to the start of the game, and Hint shows the next useful move.
• When no useful moves are left, a panel at the bottom of the table offers Undo 10 moves, Restart and New game.
• An unfinished game is saved in your browser, so you can continue it later on the same device.

• Turn over face-down cards first, especially in the columns that have the most.
• Build on a card of the same suit when you can. A run of mixed suits cannot be moved as a whole.
• An empty column is the most valuable place on the table. Use it to rearrange runs and do not fill it without a reason.
• Make every useful move before you deal, because each deal covers the top card of every column.

Is Spider Solitaire free?
Yes. You play right in your browser with no sign-up and no download, and there is no limit on how much you play.

How many suits should I choose?
Start with one suit. When you win it often, try two suits. Four-suit Spider is the hardest.

Why can’t I deal from the stock?
You can deal only when every column has at least one card. Move a card or a run into the empty column and then deal.

Is an unfinished game saved?
Yes. The game and your statistics are saved in this browser on the same device. If you clear your browser data or play in a private window, they are not kept.

How is Spider different from Klondike?
In Klondike, the best-known solitaire, you collect the cards by suit on the foundations, and the columns alternate red and black. Spider uses two decks, and you build complete runs of one suit in the columns.

Can I play Spider on my phone?
