SolitaireSpiderette Solitaire at a glance
Spider’s suit-building challenge on a seven-column staircase with just one deck.
The seven-column staircase hides more cards toward its long end. Reveal those cards before dealing over them, and remember that the final stock tap touches only the first three columns.
Rules and objective
- Seven columns hold one through seven cards, only their top cards face up. The stock holds 24 cards.
- Build down by rank in any suit. Only descending same-suit groups move together.
- Any card or valid group fills an empty column. Fill all columns before drawing.
- The stock supplies three full rows of seven, then three cards to the first three columns. There are no redeals.
- Complete four same-suit King-to-Ace runs to win. Finished runs leave the tableau automatically.
The table enforces legal moves and saves the current deal in this browser. Hints identify a move that is available now; they do not guarantee that the deal can still be won.
Strategy: how to play better
First priority
Uncover hidden cards before fresh stock rows bury the cards you need.
Expose the staircase
The one-through-seven-card deal hides increasingly deep columns. Moves that turn over a face-down card often beat moves that merely extend a visible run.
Anticipate the short final deal
Three full stock rows are followed by only three cards on the first three columns. Do not assume every column receives a card on the last draw.
Frequently asked questions
Does every stock deal cover all seven columns?
The first three deals do. The last three stock cards land only on the first three columns.
Can I move a mixed-suit group?
No. You may build down across suits, but only a descending group in one suit moves together.
