Spider in a smaller layout
Keep these points in mind. The smaller deck does not remove the need to manage suit changes. The tableau contains seven columns rather than ten. Four complete same-suit King-to-Ace runs win the game. Spiderette on zdjx1.com uses one 52-card deck with all four suits.
Seven growing columns
Here are the details for this mode. The first opening column contains one card and each following column contains one more. 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.
Twenty-four stock cards
The following details apply here. 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.
Build down by rank
Any exposed card may enter an empty column. A destination card may belong to a different suit. 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.
Move a sequence
A movable group must be face up and descend in one suit. Selecting a shorter matching segment can reveal an available group move. The selected group's leading card determines which destination rank is legal. A mixed-suit descending sequence cannot move as one group.
Expose another card
The following details apply here. No separate click is needed to reveal a newly uncovered card. An exposed hidden card can create another possible destination. 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.
Keep columns occupied
Keep these points in mind. Any valid movable group can fill an empty column. An empty column prevents dealing even when only the final three stock cards remain. A stock deal may interrupt a sequence you were assembling. This Spiderette version requires every column to contain a card before a stock deal.
Collect all four suits
Keep these points in mind. 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. One run is needed for spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds. Four collected runs account for every card in the deck.
Learn the shorter game
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.
