Spider Solitaire

How to play Spider Solitaire

A calm solitaire played with two decks. Start with one suit for a relaxing game, or try more suits for a challenge.

The goal

Build eight complete runs from King down to Ace in the same suit. Each finished run leaves the table by itself.

How to move cards
  • Put any card on a card one higher, whatever the suit.
  • To move several cards together, they must be in order and the same suit.
  • Any card can go into an empty column.
  • Tap any card and it moves to the best place for you.
Dealing new cards

Out of moves? Tap the deck to deal one new card onto every column. Every column needs at least one card first.

Tips to win more
  • Start with 1 suit. Change it in More → Settings.
  • Build in the same suit whenever you can.
  • Use empty columns to rearrange before dealing.
  • Deal only when you're truly stuck.
