A guide to your next move.
Spider in a smaller layout
The following details apply here. Four complete same-suit King-to-Ace runs win the game. Spiderette on vvvorx.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.
Seven growing columns
The following details apply here. The opening tableau contains 28 cards altogether. 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. The seventh opening column contains seven cards.
The remaining deck
The following details apply here. The final stock deal contains three cards for the first three columns. Spiderette begins with 24 cards in the stock. The stock is used in deals of seven, seven, seven and three cards. A full stock deal adds one card to each of the seven columns.
Place an exposed card
Here are the details for this mode. A single exposed card can land on another exposed card exactly one rank higher. Any exposed card may enter an empty column. A King can enter only an empty column because no rank is higher. A destination card may belong to a different suit.
One suit travels together
Keep these points in mind. The selected group's leading card determines which destination rank is legal. A mixed-suit descending sequence cannot move as one group. A movable group must be face up and descend in one suit. Selecting a shorter matching segment can reveal an available group move.
Open the hidden layout
Keep these points in mind. An exposed hidden card can create another possible destination. 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. Undo restores a hidden card's earlier state when the revealing action is reversed.
Keep columns occupied
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. A stock deal may interrupt a sequence you were assembling. Any valid movable group can fill an empty column.
Four complete runs
A few details help explain this feature. 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.
Useful practice controls
Keep these points in mind. A random Spiderette shuffle is not advertised as guaranteed winnable. Replay starts the same Spiderette shuffle again. Hint suggests a legal move without checking every possible future continuation. Undo reverses a successful move or stock deal while recent history is available.
