Select a face-up card, then a destination column. Dragging also works.

Spider in a smaller layout

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

The opening staircase

Keep these points in mind. The opening tableau contains 28 cards altogether. The seventh opening column contains seven cards. The first opening column contains one card and each following column contains one more. Only the bottom card of each initial column is face up.

Twenty-four stock cards

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

Place an exposed card

The following details apply here. A King can enter only an empty column because no rank is higher. Any exposed card may enter an empty column. A single exposed card can land on another exposed card exactly one rank higher. A destination card may belong to a different suit.

Move a sequence

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

Expose another card

A few details help explain this feature. Undo restores a hidden card's earlier state when the revealing action is reversed. 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.

Prepare to use the stock

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

Collect all four suits

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

Learn the shorter game

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