Spider Solitaire

Find your next challenge.

Spider Solitaire is about building order in a crowded tableau. Arrange cards into descending sequences, expose the cards underneath and work toward complete suited runs. Choosing which column to open can matter as much as the next available move: a useful empty column gives you room to reorganize cards that are blocking one another.

Tap or drag cards into place and keep playing without a lives limit on iPhone and iPad. Each new hand is another chance to uncover cards and build a cleaner tableau.

On Android, choose one, two or four suits, replay numbered shuffles and track your statistics. Unlimited undo, appearance options and left- or right-handed layouts let you settle into your preferred way to play.

Choosing a Spider challenge

One suit lets you concentrate on exposing cards and organizing columns. More suits add another constraint: a descending group is not necessarily a complete suited run.

A practical way to approach a hand

Look for moves that expose a face-down card, then consider whether they leave useful space for later rearrangement. An empty column can be valuable flexibility. Before dealing another row, inspect the existing columns for opportunities you would otherwise cover.
