Spider in a smaller layout

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

Seven growing columns

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

The remaining deck

Here are the details for this mode. The final stock deal contains three cards for the first three columns. Spiderette begins with 24 cards in the stock. A full stock deal adds one card to each of the seven columns. The stock is used in deals of seven, seven, seven and three cards.

Place an exposed card

The following details apply here. A single exposed card can land on another exposed card exactly one rank higher. A destination card may belong to a different suit. A King can enter only an empty column because no rank is higher. Any exposed card may enter an empty column.

Move a sequence

The following details apply here. A movable group must be face up and descend in one suit. The selected group's leading card determines which destination rank is legal. A mixed-suit descending sequence cannot move as one group. Selecting a shorter matching segment can reveal an available group move.

Open the hidden layout

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

Keep columns occupied

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

Four complete runs

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. One run is needed for spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds. Four collected runs account for every card in the deck.

Useful practice controls

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