Spider Solitaire FAQ
Common questions about Spider difficulty by suit count, completing runs, and when to deal from the stock.
Which Spider suit count is hardest?
Four-suit Spider is the hardest variant, with a win rate around 1% for expert players. One-suit Spider is nearly 100% winnable. Two-suit falls in between at roughly 30% to 50% depending on the deal.
How do I complete a run in Spider?
Complete runs by stacking cards in descending order by suit, from King down to Ace. Once a full run of 13 cards (King to Ace in one suit) is formed, it automatically clears to the foundation.
When should I deal from the stock?
Deal from the stock when you have no legal moves left and no promising setups. In harder variants (2-suit and 4-suit), holding stock cards too long can leave you stuck with unplayable distributions.
