Spider in a smaller layout
Keep these points in mind. The smaller deck does not remove the need to manage suit changes. Spiderette on nmjslhh.com uses one 52-card deck with all four suits. Four complete same-suit King-to-Ace runs win the game. The tableau contains seven columns rather than ten.
Seven growing columns
A few details help explain this feature. The opening tableau contains 28 cards altogether. The first opening column contains one card and each following column contains one more. Only the bottom card of each initial column is face up. The seventh opening column contains seven cards.
The remaining deck
A few details help explain this feature. The stock is used in deals of seven, seven, seven and three cards. A full stock deal adds one card to each of the seven columns. Spiderette begins with 24 cards in the stock. The final stock deal contains three cards for the first three columns.
Place an exposed card
Here are the details for this mode. A King can enter only an empty column because no rank is higher. A single exposed card can land on another exposed card exactly one rank higher. Any exposed card may enter an empty column. A destination card may belong to a different suit.
Move a sequence
Here are the details for this mode. Selecting a shorter matching segment can reveal an available group move. A movable group must be face up and descend in one suit. A mixed-suit descending sequence cannot move as one group. The selected group's leading card determines which destination rank is legal.
Expose another card
A few details help explain this feature. Moving all exposed cards off a hidden card turns that hidden card face up. No separate click is needed to reveal a newly uncovered card. Undo restores a hidden card's earlier state when the revealing action is reversed. An exposed hidden card can create another possible destination.
Keep columns occupied
The following details apply here. An empty column prevents dealing even when only the final three stock cards remain. This Spiderette version requires every column to contain a card before a stock deal. Any valid movable group can fill an empty column. A stock deal may interrupt a sequence you were assembling.
Four complete runs
Here are the details for this mode. A complete face-up run is removed automatically from the bottom of a column. One run is needed for spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds. A qualifying run contains thirteen cards of one suit from King down to Ace. Four collected runs account for every card in the deck.
Useful practice controls
A few details help explain this feature. Hint suggests a legal move without checking every possible future continuation. Replay starts the same Spiderette shuffle again. Undo reverses a successful move or stock deal while recent history is available. A random Spiderette shuffle is not advertised as guaranteed winnable.
