How to Play

Build descending spider stacks, clear complete K-to-A runs, and survive until no moves and no stock remain.

W04 solitaire family prototype: this page proves the shared tableau engine before the batch branches into freecell storage, pyramid pairing, tripeaks streaks, golf chains, double-deck Klondike, accordion folding, clock reveals, Yukon segment moves, and Monte Carlo adjacency matching.

Game Guide

Overview

Spider Solitaire opens the W04 solitaire batch with a lean one-suit tableau that keeps the real spider loop: build descending stacks, expose hidden cards, deal only when every column is occupied, and clear complete king-to-ace runs. The simplified suit count keeps the first prototype fast on weak networks while preserving Spider's pressure. You are managing column depth, empty lanes, and each stock deal.

Controls

Click a face-up column card to select it, then click the destination column. A card can move onto an empty column or onto a card exactly one rank higher. Keyboard players move the column cursor with Left and Right, press Space or Enter to select or place, and press D to deal when every column has a card. On mobile, use OK for select/place and D for deal.

Scoring and Progress

Every legal move adds points, flipping a hidden card adds a small bonus, and clearing a complete K-to-A spider run gives the biggest jump. Dealing a new row costs a little because it increases clutter, so high scores usually come from delaying stock deals until the tableau is cleaner. Best is saved locally. Ratings move from Scout to Mover, Stacker, and Web Master as score rises and completed runs appear.

Strategy Tips

Treat empty columns as tools, not trophies. An empty lane lets you move a blocker, expose a hidden card, or reposition a king, but it must be refilled before the next stock deal. Before dealing, scan for any move that flips a hidden card or combines two descending fragments. If several moves exist, prefer the one that exposes a face-down card or preserves an empty column.

Mobile Play

On phones, use the bottom controls when a tap would hide the target card. Move the cursor to a source column, press OK, move to the destination, then press OK again. The D button deals a new row; use it after checking for rank-down placements and useful empty-column moves. Portrait maximizes card height, while landscape helps scan all ten columns.
