How this Spider works

Spider uses 104 cards in ten tableau columns, with only the top card of each face up. You build columns downwards in any suit, but you can only move a run that is the same suit and in order. When you complete a full king-to-ace run in one suit, it leaves the table. Remove eight runs to win. The stock holds five rows of ten cards: dealing puts one on every column, and you can't deal while any column is empty.

Choose one, two or four suits. One suit is a relaxing game most people can win. Two suits is a real puzzle. Four suits is hard even for experienced players. Drag a run, or tap it and then tap its destination. Undo is unlimited, a hint button points at a useful move, and your best score is saved on your device.

Why the suit setting matters so much

With one suit, every run you build is a legal run to move. With four suits, a mixed-suit stack is stuck in place until you can rebuild it, which makes planning matter far more. Most good players start on one suit to learn the pattern, then move to two.

Tips

  1. Make an empty column early. It gives you somewhere to park a card while you reorganise.
  2. Build in suit whenever you can. Mixed stacks are traps in the harder modes.
  3. Look at all the moves before you deal. The next row of ten cards buries ten more.
  4. Keep your low cards free. You need aces and twos to finish runs.
  5. Don't worry about score at first. Winning teaches you more.
