Meet Spiderette

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

The opening staircase

Keep these points in mind. Only the bottom card of each initial column is face up. The opening tableau contains 28 cards altogether. The first opening column contains one card and each following column contains one more. The seventh opening column contains seven cards.

The remaining deck

Here are the details for this mode. The stock is used in deals of seven, seven, seven and three cards. 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.

Build down by rank

Keep these points in mind. A destination card may belong to a different suit. A single exposed card can land on another exposed card exactly one rank higher. Any exposed card may enter an empty column. A King can enter only an empty column because no rank is higher.

One suit travels together

A few details help explain this feature. 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.

Expose another card

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

Prepare to use the stock

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

Collect all four suits

A few details help explain this feature. 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. Four collected runs account for every card in the deck.

Learn the shorter game

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