Best Classic Spider Solitaire uses two decks and the familiar ten-column tableau. The objective is to assemble eight complete suited sequences running from King down to Ace. One-suit play is the most approachable, while two- and four-suit settings demand much more careful organisation.
How to play Spider Solitaire
Drag a card onto one rank higher regardless of suit, but remember that only ordered cards of the same suit can move together as a group. Empty columns create valuable working space. When no productive move remains, deal a new row from the stock, provided the tableau has no empty column.
Solitaire tips
Reveal face-down cards before polishing already open sequences.
Protect empty columns for rearranging long runs.
Avoid dealing a new row until all useful moves are exhausted.
