How to play Spider Solitaire (1 suit)

One-suit Spider uses two decks made entirely of spades. You build King-to-Ace runs in spades inside ten columns; each finished run leaves the board automatically, and you win when all eight runs are gone. With only one suit in play, any card can land on any card one rank higher, making this the most accessible Spider difficulty.

The rules in short

104 spade cards dealt into ten columns: four of six cards, six of five. Only the top card of each column is face-up; the rest start face-down.

Place any card (or same-suit descending run) on top of any card one rank higher, regardless of suit.

A group of cards moves together only if it forms a descending run — all spades in a row here, so any face-up run qualifies.

Click Deal 10 to add one card to every column. You cannot deal while any column is empty.

A complete King-to-Ace spade run is removed from the board automatically. Collect all eight to win.

Tips

Empty a column before dealing. An empty column is the best place to rearrange long runs.

Avoid burying a face-down card under a long run — you need to uncover everything before the stock runs out.

Make every possible move that turns over a face-down card before you deal the next row.

Questions

What is the difference between 1-suit, 2-suit and 4-suit Spider?

The number of suits in the two decks. With 1 suit, any run moves together freely. With more suits, only same-suit runs can move, making the game much harder.

Why can't I deal from the stock?

A column is empty. Spider requires at least one card in every column before a deal.

Does suit matter when placing a card on another in 1-suit Spider?

No. Because every card is the same suit, any face-up card can land on any card one rank higher. Only runs need to be same-suit to move as a group.
