Made famous by: Microsoft Spider Solitaire, which came with Windows starting in 2000. Spider itself is a traditional two-deck patience. Ours is an independent version, not affiliated with Microsoft.
Spider Solitaire is the patience game played with two decks across ten columns. The goal is to build eight complete runs — each one a single suit from King all the way down to Ace — right inside the tableau. Finish a run and it's lifted off the board automatically; clear all eight to win. This free browser version offers one, two, or four suits, unlimited undo, and a move counter. No downloads, no signup.
One suit is the easiest Spider — every card matches, so any descending run moves as a unit. Two suits is the balanced game most people play. Four suits is the classic, toughest version, where keeping suits together is the whole challenge. Start at one suit to learn the flow, then climb.
How do I play Spider Solitaire? Build descending runs King to Ace in the ten columns. Same-suit runs move together; a finished 13-card suit run is cleared automatically. Deal a new row when stuck, and clear all eight runs to win.
What's the easiest version? One suit — every card is the same suit, so runs always move together.
Why can't I deal new cards? You can only deal when every column has at least one card. Fill the empty columns first.
Is it free? Yes — no signup, no downloads, no installs.
