AT THE TABLE

A guide to your next move.

Meet Spiderette

The following details apply here. The smaller deck does not remove the need to manage suit changes. Spiderette on wfhfgs.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.

Seven growing columns

Here are the details for this mode. The opening tableau contains 28 cards altogether. The seventh opening column contains seven cards. Only the bottom card of each initial column is face up. The first opening column contains one card and each following column contains one more.

The remaining deck

The following details apply here. 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. The stock is used in deals of seven, seven, seven and three cards. Spiderette begins with 24 cards in the stock.

Build down by rank

A few details help explain this feature. A destination card may belong to a different suit. Any exposed card may enter an empty column. A King can enter only an empty column because no rank is higher. A single exposed card can land on another exposed card exactly one rank higher.

Move a sequence

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

Open the hidden layout

The following details apply here. Undo restores a hidden card's earlier state when the revealing action is reversed. 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. An exposed hidden card can create another possible destination.

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. Any valid movable group can fill an empty column. 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 qualifying run contains thirteen cards of one suit from King down to Ace. One run is needed for spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds. A complete face-up run is removed automatically from the bottom of a column.

Useful practice controls

Here are the details for this mode. 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. A random Spiderette shuffle is not advertised as guaranteed winnable.

A few details help explain this feature. Spiderette has its own saved position in this browser when saving is enabled.
