Rules, controls and help for Spider Solitaire
Use the rule sheet as a reference. Complete eight same-suit king-to-ace runs. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Use another round to revisit a decision. Look at the complete hand before deciding. Build down by rank. Only descending same-suit groups move together. Empty columns accept any movable group. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
Two decks, one/two/four suits; fill every column before a ten-card stock deal. Free solo play, no wagering.
One thing to notice as you play
For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
