Spider in a smaller layout

The tableau contains seven columns rather than ten. Four complete same-suit King-to-Ace runs win the game. Spiderette on kang-lu.com uses one 52-card deck with all four suits. The smaller deck does not remove the need to manage suit changes.

Seven growing columns

The following details apply here. The opening tableau contains 28 cards altogether. The seventh opening column contains seven cards. 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.

Twenty-four stock cards

The following details apply here. Spiderette begins with 24 cards in the stock. The final stock deal contains three cards for the first three columns. A full stock deal adds one card to each of the seven columns. The stock is used in deals of seven, seven, seven and three cards.

Place an exposed card

A few details help explain this feature. A single exposed card can land on another exposed card exactly one rank higher. Any exposed card may enter an empty column. A destination card may belong to a different suit. A King can enter only an empty column because no rank is higher.

Move a sequence

Here are the details for this mode. 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. The selected group's leading card determines which destination rank is legal.

Open the hidden layout

Undo restores a hidden card's earlier state when the revealing action is reversed. Moving all exposed cards off a hidden card turns that hidden card face up. An exposed hidden card can create another possible destination. No separate click is needed to reveal a newly uncovered card.

Keep columns occupied

The following details apply here. A stock deal may interrupt a sequence you were assembling. This Spiderette version requires every column to contain a card before a stock deal. An empty column prevents dealing even when only the final three stock cards remain. Any valid movable group can fill an empty column.

Four complete runs

The following details apply here. Four collected runs account for every card in the deck. One run is needed for spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds. 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.

Learn the shorter game

A few details help explain this feature. Undo reverses a successful move or stock deal while recent history is available. Hint suggests a legal move without checking every possible future continuation. A random Spiderette shuffle is not advertised as guaranteed winnable. Replay starts the same Spiderette shuffle again.

Local progress and results

Here are the details for this mode. My Statistics records Spiderette separately from standard Spider. Spiderette has its own saved position in this browser when saving is enabled. Reloading the page can resume that position. Clearing this website's local game data removes the saved Spiderette position and results.
