Spider is the big, patient cousin of Klondike, played with two full decks across ten columns. There are no foundations to feed one card at a time; instead you assemble complete King-to-Ace runs in a single suit right in the tableau, and each finished run of thirteen is lifted off the board. Clear all eight and you win. Free, no download, with undo and hints — a meatier solitaire that unfolds over many moves.
How to play Spider solitaire
104 cards are dealt into ten columns; 54 start face-down and the rest wait in the stock. You build down regardless of colour — any nine on any ten — but only cards of the same suit move as a group and pay off. When a column reaches an unbroken King-down-to-Ace in one suit, that run is removed automatically. Tap the stock to deal one card onto every column at once — which is why you can never leave a column empty at deal time.
Spider strategy & the three suit levels
Spider is won by suit discipline: whenever there's a choice, stack same-suit so runs stay clean and movable. Attack face-down cards, keep an empty column in reserve as a workshop, and tidy the board before every fresh deal. Difficulty is set by suit count — one-suit is a gentle warm-up, two-suit forces real choices, and four-suit Spider is one of the hardest solitaires around.
