Spider in a smaller layout
The following details apply here. Spiderette on hainanweilai.com uses one 52-card deck with all four suits. The smaller deck does not remove the need to manage suit changes. The tableau contains seven columns rather than ten. Four complete same-suit King-to-Ace runs win the game.
Seven growing columns
A few details help explain this feature. The opening tableau contains 28 cards altogether. The seventh opening column contains seven cards. 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 remaining deck
The final stock deal contains three cards for the first three columns. Spiderette begins with 24 cards in the stock. 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.
Build down by rank
Any exposed card may enter an empty column. A single exposed card can land on another exposed card exactly one rank higher. A destination card may belong to a different suit. A King can enter only an empty column because no rank is higher.
One suit travels together
Keep these points in mind. Selecting a shorter matching segment can reveal an available group move. A mixed-suit descending sequence cannot move as one group. The selected group's leading card determines which destination rank is legal. A movable group must be face up and descend in one suit.
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
Here are the details for this mode. 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. A stock deal may interrupt a sequence you were assembling. Any valid movable group can fill an empty column.
Collect all four suits
A complete face-up run is removed automatically from the bottom of a column. A qualifying run contains thirteen cards of one suit from King down to Ace. One run is needed for spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds. Four collected runs account for every card in the deck.
Useful practice controls
Here are the details for this mode. Hint suggests a legal move without checking every possible future continuation. Undo reverses a successful move or stock deal while recent history is available. Replay starts the same Spiderette shuffle again. A random Spiderette shuffle is not advertised as guaranteed winnable.
