How do I win Spider Solitaire?
Collect eight complete same-suit sequences from King down to Ace. Each qualifying sequence contains thirteen face-up cards. The game removes a completed sequence automatically from the bottom of a column. Clearing all eight sequences accounts for the full deck of 104 cards.
Why will a group of cards not move?
The key details are straightforward. A single exposed card can land on a card one rank higher regardless of suit. Try selecting a shorter matching segment from the bottom of the column. A group must be face up, descending by one rank at a time and entirely in one suit. A change in suit breaks the group even when the rank order is correct.
Do empty columns prevent a deal?
On this website, the following points apply. The stock button cannot deal after all five stock rows have been used. Move a card or legal sequence into each empty column to meet that requirement. A stock deal adds exactly one face-up card to each of the ten columns. Every tableau column must contain at least one card before a stock deal.
Does an empty column require a King?
Here is what to know. Kings are allowed but are not required. An empty column accepts any exposed card or movable same-suit sequence. Empty columns must be filled before the next stock deal. A King needs an empty column because it cannot land on another rank.
Does the game save my progress?
The key details are straightforward. With saving enabled, progress is stored in this browser on this domain. Each difficulty has its own saved game. Clearing browser storage, using a different device or turning saving off can remove access to that progress. The Privacy & Cookie Settings page lets you manage local saving.
How can I revisit an earlier position?
Replay restarts the same shuffled deal from its opening position. Undo reverses a recent successful move or stock deal, including automatic flips and collections. Up to 200 recent action snapshots are retained when storage permits. New game creates a different shuffle and replaces the current deal for that difficulty.
Does Hint guarantee a solution?
Hints do not inspect hidden cards to provide a complete solution. Undo or Replay can help you explore a different approach when progress stalls. The game uses random shuffles and does not promise that every deal is winnable. Hint suggests a legal move from the visible position.
How do I play on a phone?
On this website, the following points apply. Rotating your phone may give you a wider view of all ten columns. Tap a movable card or the first card of a matching descending group, then tap a destination column. The mobile menu opens from the menu icon at the top of the page. Dragging is also supported on the card table.
