AT THE TABLE

A guide to your next move.

Meet Spiderette

Keep these points in mind. The smaller deck does not remove the need to manage suit changes. Spiderette on hzxydec.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 opening staircase

Keep these points in mind. 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. 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.

Place an exposed card

Keep these points in mind. 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. A single exposed card can land on another exposed card exactly one rank higher.

Move a sequence

Keep these points in mind. 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.

Expose another card

Here are the details for this mode. 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. No separate click is needed to reveal a newly uncovered card.

Keep columns occupied

A few details help explain this feature. A stock deal may interrupt a sequence you were assembling. This Spiderette version requires every column to contain a card before a stock deal. Any valid movable group can fill an empty column. An empty column prevents dealing even when only the final three stock cards remain.

Collect all four suits

One run is needed for spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds. Four collected runs account for every card in the deck. 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.

Learn the shorter game

Keep these points in mind. Replay starts the same Spiderette shuffle again. A random Spiderette shuffle is not advertised as guaranteed winnable. Undo reverses a successful move or stock deal while recent history is available. Hint suggests a legal move without checking every possible future continuation.
