A guide to your next move.
Choose a starting deal
Here are the details for this mode. The number and suit setting together identify the starting shuffle. Numbered Deals lets you choose a reproducible Spider starting layout on ahthdj.com. Enter a whole deal number between 1 and 4294967295. Select one suit, two suits or four suits before loading the deal.
Use the controls
A few details help explain this feature. The Deal number field accepts positive whole numbers within the displayed range. Loading a different number can replace progress saved for the same mode and suit setting. An active unfinished game asks for confirmation before loading another selection. Load deal applies the number and suit setting in the controls.
Number and suits belong together
Move choices after the opening are entirely up to the player. The same deal number and suit setting produce the same opening cards with this game's shuffle algorithm. Changing the suit setting changes the deck used to create the deal. A deal number identifies a starting layout rather than a saved position halfway through play.
Share a starting point
The following details apply here. A shared numbered link opens the corresponding starting deal or matching local progress. Copy deal link includes the selected number and suit setting in the page's link fragment. When automatic copying is unavailable, the game displays a selectable link field. Sharing a link does not transfer another player's move history or statistics.
Collect eight sequences
The following details apply here. A qualifying face-up run is removed automatically. Win by completing eight same-suit King-to-Ace sequences. Numbered Spider uses 104 cards arranged in ten columns with a stock pile. A full descending sequence containing different suits stays on the tableau.
Keep movable groups together
A few details help explain this feature. A descending same-suit group can move together as one unit. An exposed card can move onto a card exactly one rank higher. Any legal movable group may enter an empty column. The destination card may belong to another suit in standard Spider.
Prepare another row
The following details apply here. Fill every empty column before using the stock. Each stock deal adds one card to each of the ten columns. Five stock deals are available at the beginning of a numbered game. Undo can restore the position before a stock deal while the snapshot is available.
Explore one layout
Here are the details for this mode. Replay resets the current number to its original shuffle. Comparing different openings on one number can help you study your own decisions. New game chooses another deal number for the current suit setting. The current number remains visible beside the game controls.
A reproducible deal is not a proof
The following details apply here. Numbered shuffles are not advertised as guaranteed winnable. The Hint button reports legal options rather than solving the whole game. Some choices can make a position harder even when another line might succeed. Winning Deals provides a separate collection with verified legal solutions.
