NOTES FROM THE TABLE

Choose a starting deal

Enter a whole deal number between 1 and 4294967295. Numbered Deals lets you choose a reproducible Spider starting layout on wfhfgs.com. The number and suit setting together identify the starting shuffle. Select one suit, two suits or four suits before loading the deal.

Use the controls

A few details help explain this feature. An active unfinished game asks for confirmation before loading another selection. The Deal number field accepts positive whole numbers within the displayed range. Loading a different number can replace progress saved for the same mode and suit setting. Load deal applies the number and suit setting in the controls.

Reproduce the layout

The following details apply here. A deal number identifies a starting layout rather than a saved position halfway through play. 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. Move choices after the opening are entirely up to the player.

Copy the deal link

Here are the details for this mode. Copy deal link includes the selected number and suit setting in the page's link fragment. A shared numbered link opens the corresponding starting deal or matching local progress. When automatic copying is unavailable, the game displays a selectable link field. Sharing a link does not transfer another player's move history or statistics.

Collect eight sequences

A few details help explain this feature. A full descending sequence containing different suits stays on the tableau. Numbered Spider uses 104 cards arranged in ten columns with a stock pile. Win by completing eight same-suit King-to-Ace sequences. A qualifying face-up run is removed automatically.

Keep movable groups together

Any legal movable group may enter an empty column. An exposed card can move onto a card exactly one rank higher. The destination card may belong to another suit in standard Spider. A descending same-suit group can move together as one unit.

Prepare another row

Keep these points in mind. 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.

Replay and new numbers

The following details apply here. The current number remains visible beside the game controls. New game chooses another deal number for the current suit setting. Replay resets the current number to its original shuffle. Comparing different openings on one number can help you study your own decisions.

No promise for every number

The following details apply here. Some choices can make a position harder even when another line might succeed. The Hint button reports legal options rather than solving the whole game. Numbered shuffles are not advertised as guaranteed winnable. Winning Deals provides a separate collection with verified legal solutions.
