How to play Spider Solitaire

  1. Two decks, 104 cards, are dealt into ten columns (54 cards, only the top card of each face up); the other 50 wait in the stock for five deals.
  2. Place any card on a card one rank higher, whatever its suit. Only runs of the same suit in descending order move together.
  3. Any card or same-suit run can go to an empty column.
  4. When a column holds a full same-suit sequence from king down to ace, it leaves the table. Complete all eight to win.
  5. Tap the stock to deal one face-up card onto every column. You can only deal when no column is empty.
  6. Drag cards, or tap a card and then its destination. Double-tap moves a run to the best column. Undo is unlimited.

How to play two-suit Spider

  1. The deal is the same: 54 cards in ten columns, 50 in the stock for five deals.
  2. Four sets are spades and four are hearts.
  3. Any card may go on a card one rank higher, spade or heart.
  4. Only a run in one suit moves as a unit; a mixed run must be taken apart.
  5. Completed king-to-ace runs of one suit clear themselves. Clear eight to win.

Two-suit strategy

Two suits is where Spider becomes a planning game. The key skill is knowing when a mixed build is worth it.

Prefer in-suit builds

If a heart 7 can go on either a heart 8 or a spade 8, choose the heart. If only the spade is available, make the move when it uncovers a card or empties a column, and otherwise wait.

Use empty columns to sort

An empty column lets you take a mixed run apart and put it back in suit. Use it for that, not as a permanent home for a single card. Remember you must fill every column before dealing.

Keep one suit moving

It is often easier to aim for a complete spade run first, then hearts, than to build both at once. A finished run frees space and returns 100 points.

Back out of bad deals

After a deal, look at what landed where. If it buried the run you needed, undo and rearrange first. The hint looks only one move ahead, so treat it as a suggestion, not a plan.

Before the last deal especially, try to have at least one long same-suit run ready to finish. The final ten cards often supply the last few ranks you were waiting for, and a completed suit then clears straight away.

Spider solitaire two suit stats

Two-suit games keep their own stats: played, won, win rate, best and average time, and best score. The timer starts on your first move. The first two hints in each game are free; when ads are switched on later, further hints offer a short ad or a 30-second wait. Each deal has a puzzle code you can share.

Plays anywhere, no app, no account

Red hearts and black spades stay easy to tell apart even with the small cards that let ten columns fit a phone, and every move works from the keyboard. Tidy Puzzles runs entirely in your browser: there is no app to install, no account to create and no interstitial before you can play. After the first visit the game also works offline, because each puzzle is generated on your device from a seed. Every board can be played with the keyboard alone, on a phone or a desktop, and your stats and unfinished puzzles stay in this browser rather than on a server.

Frequently asked questions

How hard is two-suit Spider?

Harder than one suit and much easier than four. Many deals can be won with careful play, but not all.

Which suits are used?

Spades and hearts, four full sets of each.

Can I put a heart on a spade?

Yes, any card fits on the next rank up. But a mixed run cannot move as a unit.

Are two-suit deals checked for a win?

No. Deals are random, so some cannot be won.

How is it scored?

Start at 500, minus 1 per move or deal, plus 100 for each completed suit.
