Spider Solitaire

Spider Solitaire is an immensely challenging free online solitaire game, assuming you pick to play with 4 suits. The satisfaction of winning is priceless!

The goal of this solitaire game is to remove 8 columns of cards at the bottom, each descending from King to Ace in a single suit. When a column like this is created it is automatically removed from the game, freeing up space for you to continue.

You will see at the start of the game that 10 columns are dealt at the top, with only the top card shown. You must rearrange the deal to uncover the cards underneath.

The rules are as follows. A single card can be moved onto a column if it is one lower than the card it is covering (E.g. A Queen of Hearts can cover any Red King or Black King). When trying to move a column of cards, they can only be moved if they are all in the same suit. For this reason wherever possible it is best to create descending columns of the same suit.

If a column is empty you can place anything on it. It is vitally important to use this well, as freeing up other options is exactly what the game is about.

You can deal more cards to the layout by clicking the card located in the bottom right. These cards will cover all 8 columns, forcing you to rearrange them so you can reach any grouped columns you have created previously.

Remember that in Spider Solitaire before you deal any more cards, you should make the effort to group what you have so they are in their suits wherever possible. This reduces the issue of cards getting stuck behind other cards.

The game requires patience, logical thinking and luck. On the most difficult version of spider solitaire, you will have to quit and restart many, many times! However when you do finally win, it's a great feeling!
