Meet Spiderette

A few details help explain this feature. Spiderette on jl-ludeng.com uses one 52-card deck with all four suits. Four complete same-suit King-to-Ace runs win the game. The tableau contains seven columns rather than ten. The smaller deck does not remove the need to manage suit changes.

Seven growing columns

A few details help explain this feature. 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 seventh opening column contains seven cards. The opening tableau contains 28 cards altogether.

Twenty-four stock cards

Here are the details for this mode. The final stock deal contains three cards for the first three columns. A full stock deal adds one card to each of the seven columns. The stock is used in deals of seven, seven, seven and three cards. Spiderette begins with 24 cards in the stock.

Place an exposed card

Here are the details for this mode. 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

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

Open the hidden layout

The following details apply here. No separate click is needed to reveal a newly uncovered card. Undo restores a hidden card's earlier state when the revealing action is reversed. 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

A few details help explain this feature. 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. A stock deal may interrupt a sequence you were assembling. Any valid movable group can fill an empty column.

Collect all four suits

The following details apply here. A complete face-up run is removed automatically from the bottom of a column. A qualifying run contains thirteen cards of one suit from King down to Ace. Four collected runs account for every card in the deck. One run is needed for spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds.

Learn the shorter game

A few details help explain this feature. 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.
