Spider Solitaire

Spider Solitaire is a free online two-deck patience game. Deal across ten columns and build cards down in rank; gather a full King-to-Ace run of one suit and it clears. Choose 1, 2 or 4 suits for easy, medium or hard. Play spider solitaire online free with no download and no sign-up, on phone or desktop.

How to play

• Build columns downward by rank — any suit works for stacking (a 6 on a 7).
• Cards of the same suit in sequence move together as one run.
• Complete a King-to-Ace run in a single suit and it is removed from the table.
• Tap the stock to deal one card to every column — allowed only when no column is empty.
• Clear all eight suit runs to win. Pick 1, 2 or 4 suits to set the difficulty.

Empty a column whenever you can — an empty pile is the most valuable space in Spider, since any card or run can move there and let you re-sort. Prefer building same-suit sequences over mixed ones so runs stay mobile, and expose face-down cards early. Start on 1 suit to learn the flow, then step up to 2 and 4.

More about Spider Solitaire

Spider is one of the most popular two-deck solitaires, named for the eight legs of a spider — the eight foundation sequences you must build down from King to Ace in suit. It comes in one-, two- and four-suit versions: a single suit is a gentle warm-up, while four suits is a famously tough test of planning. The art is creating and preserving empty columns, the most valuable resource on the board.
