Spiderette

Here are the details of Spiderette, ready whenever you need them. A closer read may help answer a question about your visit.

Select a face-up card, then a destination column. Dragging also works.

Spider in a smaller layout

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

The opening staircase

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

Twenty-four stock cards

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

Build down by rank

Keep these points in mind. A destination card may belong to a different suit. A single exposed card can land on another exposed card exactly one rank higher. A King can enter only an empty column because no rank is higher. Any exposed card may enter an empty column.

Move a sequence

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

Open the hidden layout

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

Prepare to use the stock

The following details apply here. 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. A stock deal may interrupt a sequence you were assembling. Any valid movable group can fill an empty column.

Collect all four suits

Here are the details for this mode. A qualifying run contains thirteen cards of one suit from King down to Ace. Four collected runs account for every card in the deck. A complete face-up run is removed automatically from the bottom of a column. One run is needed for spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds.

Useful practice controls

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