Meet Spiderette
A few details help explain this feature. Four complete same-suit King-to-Ace runs win the game. Spiderette on gzjeco.com uses one 52-card deck with all four suits. The tableau contains seven columns rather than ten. The smaller deck does not remove the need to manage suit changes.
Seven growing columns
The following details apply here. The first opening column contains one card and each following column contains one more. The opening tableau contains 28 cards altogether. Only the bottom card of each initial column is face up. The seventh opening column contains seven cards.
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 stock is used in deals of seven, seven, seven and three cards. The final stock deal contains three cards for the first three columns.
Place an exposed card
Keep these points in mind. 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
A few details help explain this feature. 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. The selected group's leading card determines which destination rank is legal.
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.
Prepare to use the stock
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. Any valid movable group can fill an empty column.
Four complete runs
Four collected runs account for every card in the deck. A qualifying run contains thirteen cards of one suit from King down to Ace. One run is needed for spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds. A complete face-up run is removed automatically from the bottom of a column.
Useful practice controls
Undo reverses a successful move or stock deal while recent history is available. Hint suggests a legal move without checking every possible future continuation. A random Spiderette shuffle is not advertised as guaranteed winnable. Replay starts the same Spiderette shuffle again.
