Meet Spiderette
The following details apply here. Four complete same-suit King-to-Ace runs win the game. Spiderette on jjhzgxg.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.
The opening staircase
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.
The remaining deck
Here are the details for this mode. The stock is used in deals of seven, seven, seven and three cards. A full stock deal adds one card to each of the seven columns. Spiderette begins with 24 cards in the stock. The final stock deal contains three cards for the first three columns.
Build down by rank
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. A single exposed card can land on another exposed card exactly one rank higher. Any exposed card may enter an empty column.
One suit travels together
The following details apply here. A movable group must be face up and descend in one suit. 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.
Expose another card
Moving all exposed cards off a hidden card turns that hidden card face up. No separate click is needed to reveal a newly uncovered card. An exposed hidden card can create another possible destination. Undo restores a hidden card's earlier state when the revealing action is reversed.
Prepare to use the stock
The following details apply here. An empty column prevents dealing even when only the final three stock cards remain. This Spiderette version requires every column to contain a card before a stock deal. Any valid movable group can fill an empty column. A stock deal may interrupt a sequence you were assembling.
Collect all four suits
Four collected runs account for every card in the deck. One run is needed for spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds. 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.
Useful practice controls
Here are the details for this mode. Undo reverses a successful move or stock deal while recent history is available. Hint suggests a legal move without checking every possible future continuation. Replay starts the same Spiderette shuffle again. A random Spiderette shuffle is not advertised as guaranteed winnable.
