About Spider Solitaire
Spider Solitaire deals two full decks — 104 cards — across ten columns and asks you to weave them into eight complete King-to-Ace runs. Finish a run in a single suit and it lifts off to a foundation. It is the deeper, moodier cousin of Klondike, and the four-suit version ranks among the toughest solitaire challenges there is.
On Puzlento you can toggle between one, two, and four suits whenever you want, so the game grows with you. Undo is unlimited, a timer and move counter keep you honest, and your best time is stored on your device. Everything runs free in the browser on desktop, tablet, or phone — nothing to install.
How to play Spider Solitaire
- Stack cards in descending order on the ten columns; while building down, any suit may sit on any other.
- Move groups only when they form a same-suit descending run — mixed-suit stacks travel one card at a time.
- Complete a King-through-Ace run in a single suit and it clears itself to one of the eight foundations.
- Stuck? Deal from the stock to drop one new card onto every column — but every empty column must be filled first.
- Clear all eight runs to win, leaning on unlimited undo whenever a line of play fizzles out.
Controls
- Drag and drop single cards or same-suit runs with your mouse or finger.
- Click or tap the stock to deal a fresh card onto every column.
- Switch between 1, 2, and 4 suits from the toolbar at any time.
- Press Undo as often as you like — every move can be rewound.
Tips & tricks
- Empty a column as early as possible — a free column is the workspace that makes long rearrangements doable.
- Prefer same-suit builds over off-suit ones; off-suit stacking is sometimes necessary, but it freezes cards in place.
- Deal from the stock only when you are truly out of useful moves — every deal buries all ten columns one card deeper.
- Tidy up before dealing: arrange columns so the incoming row lands on ranks it can extend rather than block.
Frequently asked questions
Is every Spider Solitaire deal winnable?
Nearly all one-suit deals can be won, and with careful play plus unlimited undo the large majority of two-suit and four-suit games are winnable too. A small share of deals are genuinely lost from the start.
Why can I not deal new cards from the stock?
Spider blocks the deal while any column is empty. Fill every gap with at least one card, then click the stock again to drop a fresh row.
What changes between 1, 2, and 4 suit modes?
Only the mix of suits in the 104-card layout. One suit is the friendliest, since every descending build is movable; four suits is the classic expert game. Toggle modes from the toolbar whenever you want.
