A guide to your next move.
A number for your shuffle
Select one suit, two suits or four suits before loading the deal. Numbered Deals lets you choose a reproducible Spider starting layout on wfhfgs.com. Enter a whole deal number between 1 and 4294967295. The number and suit setting together identify the starting shuffle.
Use the controls
An active unfinished game asks for confirmation before loading another selection. Loading a different number can replace progress saved for the same mode and suit setting. The Deal number field accepts positive whole numbers within the displayed range. Load deal applies the number and suit setting in the controls.
Reproduce the layout
A deal number identifies a starting layout rather than a saved position halfway through play. Move choices after the opening are entirely up to the player. The same deal number and suit setting produce the same opening cards with this game's shuffle algorithm. Changing the suit setting changes the deck used to create the deal.
Copy the deal link
Here are the details for this mode. When automatic copying is unavailable, the game displays a selectable link field. Copy deal link includes the selected number and suit setting in the page's link fragment. Sharing a link does not transfer another player's move history or statistics. A shared numbered link opens the corresponding starting deal or matching local progress.
The numbered objective
A few details help explain this feature. Numbered Spider uses 104 cards arranged in ten columns with a stock pile. Win by completing eight same-suit King-to-Ace sequences. A full descending sequence containing different suits stays on the tableau. A qualifying face-up run is removed automatically.
Build by rank
Here are the details for this mode. An exposed card can move onto a card exactly one rank higher. A descending same-suit group can move together as one unit. The destination card may belong to another suit in standard Spider. Any legal movable group may enter an empty column.
The stock requirement
Here are the details for this mode. Undo can restore the position before a stock deal while the snapshot is available. Each stock deal adds one card to each of the ten columns. Fill every empty column before using the stock. Five stock deals are available at the beginning of a numbered game.
Explore one layout
The following details apply here. The current number remains visible beside the game controls. Replay resets the current number to its original shuffle. New game chooses another deal number for the current suit setting. Comparing different openings on one number can help you study your own decisions.
A reproducible deal is not a proof
Keep these points in mind. The Hint button reports legal options rather than solving the whole game. Some choices can make a position harder even when another line might succeed. Winning Deals provides a separate collection with verified legal solutions. Numbered shuffles are not advertised as guaranteed winnable.
Save your numbered game
A few details help explain this feature. A matching saved game resumes when you revisit its number. My Statistics lists numbered starts and wins separately from ordinary Spider games.
