Spider in a smaller layout
The following details apply here. Spiderette on topcar123.com uses one 52-card deck with all four suits. Four complete same-suit King-to-Ace runs win the game. The smaller deck does not remove the need to manage suit changes. The tableau contains seven columns rather than ten.
Seven growing columns
The first opening column contains one card and each following column contains one more. Only the bottom card of each initial column is face up. The seventh opening column contains seven cards. The opening tableau contains 28 cards altogether.
The remaining deck
Here are the details for this mode. Spiderette begins with 24 cards in the stock. 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.
Place an exposed card
Here are the details for this mode. 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. Any exposed card may enter an empty column.
Move a sequence
Keep these points in mind. A mixed-suit descending sequence cannot move as one group. Selecting a shorter matching segment can reveal an available group move. The selected group's leading card determines which destination rank is legal. A movable group must be face up and descend in one suit.
Expose another card
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. Undo restores a hidden card's earlier state when the revealing action is reversed.
Keep columns occupied
A few details help explain this feature. Any valid movable group can fill an empty column. A stock deal may interrupt a sequence you were assembling. 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.
Four complete runs
Keep these points in mind. One run is needed for spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds. A qualifying run contains thirteen cards of one suit from King down to Ace. A complete face-up run is removed automatically from the bottom of a column. Four collected runs account for every card in the deck.
Useful practice controls
Here are the details for this mode. Hint suggests a legal move without checking every possible future continuation. Undo reverses a successful move or stock deal while recent history is available. A random Spiderette shuffle is not advertised as guaranteed winnable. Replay starts the same Spiderette shuffle again.
