How to Play Spider Solitaire Cards

There is a quiet pleasure in watching a column collapse into order — suit by suit, King down to Ace, eight stacks built and cleared from the tableau. Spider Solitaire Cards is for anyone who wants a focused, rewarding card challenge they can pick up for five minutes or lose an hour to.

Choose your difficulty mode before the first card is dealt
Drag cards onto a column to build sequences in descending order
Move grouped sequences together once they share the same suit
Deal a new row from the stock when no useful moves remain
Clear all eight completed stacks from King to Ace to win

Controls

Use your mouse or touchscreen to drag and drop cards between columns. A single click on the stock deals a fresh row across every column.

Scoring

Points are awarded for each completed suit stack cleared from the tableau, and the fewer stock deals you need, the higher your final score.

When does a round end?

A round ends when you have successfully moved all 104 cards off the tableau as eight ordered stacks, or when no legal moves remain and the stock is empty.

Tips & Tricks

Prioritize building same-suit sequences early — mixed sequences block you from moving groups later
Keep at least one column empty if you can; it acts as a free holding space for awkward cards
Avoid dealing from the stock while empty columns exist — fill them with purpose first
Start on one-suit mode to learn the flow of the tableau before stepping up to four suits
