Spider Solitaire with 1, 2 or 4 suits

A suit means Spades, Hearts, Diamonds or Clubs. With one suit, every card is a Spade. Two suits use Spades and Hearts; four suits add Diamonds and Clubs. Every level contains 104 cards and eight copies of each rank.

One suit is useful for learning: every descending sequence already matches by suit. With two or four suits, mixed sequences need more separating and rearranging. Your progress is kept when you switch suit levels.

Setup and goal

The initial tableau contains 54 cards in ten columns: six in each of the first four columns and five in each of the other six. Only the last card in each column is face up. Another 50 cards wait in the stock, divided into five packets of ten.

Build complete runs of the same suit: King, Queen, Jack, Ten down through Two and Ace. The game automatically removes a completed run. Remove all eight runs to win.

Which moves are allowed?

  • A single face-up card can go on a card exactly one rank higher, regardless of suit. For example, a Seven of Hearts can go on an Eight of Spades.
  • Several cards can move together when they form an unbroken descending sequence of the same suit.
  • Any single face-up card or movable sequence can fill an empty column.
  • When you remove the last face-up card above hidden cards, the next card automatically turns face up.

You can build mixed-suit sequences, but cannot move them as a whole. Keep empty columns available for rearranging. Unlike FreeCell, there are no extra single-card free cells.

Dealing from the stock

“Deal 10 cards” places one face-up card on each column. All ten columns must be occupied first. The counter shows how many packets remain; the stock is not recycled.

Before dealing, check whether you can reveal more hidden cards or join matching sequences. A new packet can cover cards you have already arranged well. “Undo” can reverse an entire deal.

Controls and helpers

Tap a card or the start of a valid sequence, then tap the destination or its column number. You can also drag cards with your mouse or finger. Legal destinations are highlighted. On narrow screens, the ten numbered columns appear in two rows: 1–5 above and 6–10 below.

Use Tab to reach playable cards, column numbers and controls. Enter or Space confirms; Escape clears a selection. “Hint” highlights a possible move. Repeated taps show further suggestions without moving cards. A hint is not a complete solution.

“Undo” takes back up to 100 actions, including dealt cards, revealed cards and completed runs. The move count also goes back; elapsed time is kept. There is no time limit.

Daily deals and saved games

The daily deal is the same for everyone on each date and suit level. The date follows Berlin time. Reload the page to open the next daily deal. In free play, “New deal” shuffles again; “Restart” repeats the same starting position.

Spielaro saves the daily game and free game separately for all three suit levels in this browser. Time and undo history are also kept. This requires local storage to be allowed. Other browsers or devices do not inherit the save; clearing site data removes it.

Shuffled deals are not checked for solvability in advance. If you get stuck, undo moves or try the same deal again. Find the classic version with a draw pile under Solitaire, and more free titles in the game catalogue.
