Spider in a smaller layout

A few details help explain this feature. Spiderette on cstocoin.com uses one 52-card deck with all four suits. The tableau contains seven columns rather than ten. Four complete same-suit King-to-Ace runs win the game. The smaller deck does not remove the need to manage suit changes.

The opening staircase

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

The remaining deck

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

Build down by rank

The following details apply here. Any exposed card may enter an empty column. 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. A destination card may belong to a different suit.

One suit travels together

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

Expose another card

Keep these points in mind. No separate click is needed to reveal a newly uncovered card. Moving all exposed cards off a hidden card turns that hidden card face up. 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. An empty column prevents dealing even when only the final three stock cards remain. Any valid movable group can fill an empty column. This Spiderette version requires every column to contain a card before a stock deal. A stock deal may interrupt a sequence you were assembling.

Collect all four suits

A few details help explain this feature. 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. A qualifying run contains thirteen cards of one suit from King down to Ace.

Useful practice controls

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