Dealing a new hand
With one suit, every card is a spade, so any run in order can move as a group. It is the gentlest way into Spider and a calm way to spend an evening.
In 1 Suit Spider all 104 cards are spades: eight full sets from Ace to King. Because every card shares a suit, any run in order can move as a group, and a card can go on any card one rank higher without spoiling a run you are building.
That makes 1 Suit the best place to learn how the stock, empty columns and completed runs work together. Most deals can be won with steady play, so it suits an evening when you want to unwind rather than puzzle.
It is the gentlest of the three modes. Every card is a spade, so any run in order moves as a group, and most deals can be won with patient play. It still asks you to think about empty columns and when to deal.
104, the same as the other modes: eight complete sets of spades from Ace to King. 54 are dealt into ten columns at the start and 50 wait in the stock for five deals of ten cards.
When you win most of your hands without needing Hint. 2 Suits adds hearts, so runs only move together when they are all one suit, and planning starts to matter.
Spider Solitaire is played with two full decks. Build columns down in rank from King to Ace. Complete runs in a single suit are cleared from the table and placed in the foundations.
When no more moves can be made, deal a fresh row of ten cards from the stock. Every column must have at least one card before you can deal.
Build runs from King down to Ace in one suit. You can put any face-up card on a card one rank higher, and move a run in order as a group when it is all one suit. A finished run leaves the table. Clear all eight runs to win.
Every mode uses 104 cards. With 1 Suit they are all spades, with 2 Suits spades and hearts, and with 4 Suits all four suits. More suits make it harder to build runs that can move together.
Start with 1 Suit if Spider is new to you. Move to 2 Suits when you win most of your games, and try 4 Suits when you want a long, slow puzzle.
One 2 Suits deal a day, the same for everyone and always winnable. Finish it to keep your streak going. The Daily page shows a calendar of the days you have completed.
With Winnable deals only switched on, as it is to begin with, each new deal is checked by a solver before you play it. If the check takes too long on a slow device, you get an ordinary deal instead. You can switch the setting off in Settings.
