Spider Solitaire: rules & strategy
Play Spider Solitaire free online. Build descending same-suit runs from King to Ace across ten columns, then remove complete sequences to win.
Objective
Ten columns · clear King-to-Ace runs. Difficulty: Hard.
Rules
- Ten tableau columns are dealt from two decks (104 cards).
- Build down by rank regardless of suit; only same-suit sequences move as a unit.
- A complete King-to-Ace same-suit run is removed from the board.
- Deal from the stock when stuck — every column must have at least one card before dealing.
Tips to win more often
- Prioritize building same-suit runs over mixed-color stacks.
- Empty columns are powerful — protect them.
- Avoid dealing from the stock until you have improved the layout.
