THE PLAYBOOK · MILUPIANO
The Spider Solitaire playbook
Open Spider Solitaire, check the instructions and begin a round. Complete eight same-suit king-to-ace runs. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Two decks, one/two/four suits; fill every column before a ten-card stock deal. Free solo play, no wagering.
An idea for your next attempt
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Refer to the controls when needed.
Understand the aim
Complete eight same-suit king-to-ace runs. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Check the rules when you are unsure.
Start here and follow along
- Build down by rank. Only descending same-suit groups move together. Empty columns accept any movable group.
- Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot.
- Use foundations where available; full Spider or Scorpion runs clear automatically.
- Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.
Your inputs
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
An example to follow
A mixed-suit descending stack cannot move as one group. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Consider the next action carefully.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
