How to play Spider Solitaire

  1. 1We play Spider with two suits (spades and hearts, four of each), which makes for a fair challenge. 104 cards are dealt into ten columns; only the bottom card of each is face up, and the other 50 cards wait in the stock.
  2. 2Put a card on any card one rank higher, whatever its suit (a 6 on any 7). Face-down cards turn up when uncovered.
  3. 3You can move several cards together only if they are all one suit and in order (9♠ 8♠ 7♠). Any card or run can go into an empty column.
  4. 4When a column holds a whole run of one suit from King down to Ace, it's cleared away. Clear all eight runs to win.
  5. 5Tap the stock to deal one more card onto every column. You can’t deal while a column is empty.
  6. 6Pick a card, then tap the column it should go to — or drag it there.
  7. 7Once the stock is dealt and every column is one run of a suit, the game finishes the runs for you.
