How to play Spiderette Solitaire

Spiderette is Spider Solitaire scaled down to a single deck. The layout follows the Klondike pattern — seven columns of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 cards with only the top card face-up — and you deal seven more cards when stuck (one per column). Build King-to-Ace same-suit runs; each completed run leaves the board automatically.

The rules in short

  1. One deck (52 cards). Seven columns: column 1 has 1 card, column 2 has 2, … column 7 has 7. Only the top card of each column starts face-up.
  2. Place any card (or same-suit descending run) on top of any card one rank higher, regardless of suit.
  3. A group of cards moves together only if every card in it is the same suit in a descending sequence.
  4. When stuck, click the stock to deal one card face-up to each column. You cannot deal if any column is empty.
  5. A complete King-to-Ace same-suit run is removed automatically. Remove all four to win.

Tips

Questions

How many times can I deal from the stock?

Four times. The stock deals 24 cards in rounds of 7, 7, 7, and then 3 — the final deal goes to the first three columns only. You cannot deal if any column is empty.

How is Spiderette different from full Spider?

Spiderette uses one deck instead of two and seven columns instead of ten. Games are shorter but harder because there are fewer copies of each rank to work with.

Does suit matter when placing a single card?

No. Any single card can go on top of any card one rank higher. Suit only matters when you want to move multiple cards as a group.
