Meet Spiderette
The smaller deck does not remove the need to manage suit changes. Spiderette on khgdzz.com uses one 52-card deck with all four suits. Four complete same-suit King-to-Ace runs win the game. The tableau contains seven columns rather than ten.
Seven growing columns
A few details help explain this feature. Only the bottom card of each initial column is face up. The first opening column contains one card and each following column contains one more. The opening tableau contains 28 cards altogether. The seventh opening column contains seven cards.
Twenty-four stock cards
Keep these points in mind. 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. Spiderette begins with 24 cards in the stock. The final stock deal contains three cards for the first three columns.
Place an exposed card
A destination card may belong to a different suit. Any exposed card may enter an empty column. A single exposed card can land on another exposed card exactly one rank higher. 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. The selected group's leading card determines which destination rank is legal. A movable group must be face up and descend in one suit. A mixed-suit descending sequence cannot move as one group.
Expose another card
The following details apply here. Undo restores a hidden card's earlier state when the revealing action is reversed. 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.
Keep columns occupied
An empty column prevents dealing even when only the final three stock cards remain. Any valid movable group can fill an empty column. A stock deal may interrupt a sequence you were assembling. This Spiderette version requires every column to contain a card before a stock deal.
Collect all four suits
Here are the details for this mode. 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
Undo reverses a successful move or stock deal while recent history is available. Replay starts the same Spiderette shuffle again. Hint suggests a legal move without checking every possible future continuation. A random Spiderette shuffle is not advertised as guaranteed winnable.
