About Spider Solitaire

Build descending card sequences across ten columns. Only a sequence of one suit moves together; a complete king-to-ace suit leaves the table. Clear all eight to finish.

How to play

Goal
Build eight runs of one suit from king down to ace.
How it ends
A deal is won when all eight runs have lifted off; a position with no legal move tells you so.
Record
The fastest first win of each deal, and its fewest moves.
  1. Place any card on a card one rank higher, of any suit. Only a run of one suit moves together.
  2. Build king down to ace in one suit and the run lifts off the table. Eight runs win.
  3. Tap the stock to deal a card onto every column — never while a column is empty.

Good to know

Each deal keeps a fastest time and a fewest-moves record, with holders' names; only a first finish counts for time. A hint keeps the deal but not the record. The clock starts when the cards are dealt and never pauses. Progress and settings are saved in this browser.
