Meet Spiderette
Here are the details for this mode. Four complete same-suit King-to-Ace runs win the game. Spiderette on mj010.com uses one 52-card deck with all four suits. The tableau contains seven columns rather than ten. The smaller deck does not remove the need to manage suit changes.
Seven growing columns
Only the bottom card of each initial column is face up. The seventh opening column contains seven cards. The opening tableau contains 28 cards altogether. The first opening column contains one card and each following column contains one more.
The remaining deck
Here are the details for this mode. The stock is used in deals of seven, seven, seven and three cards. Spiderette begins with 24 cards in the stock. A full stock deal adds one card to each of the seven columns. The final stock deal contains three cards for the first three columns.
Build down by rank
Keep these points in mind. Any exposed card may enter an empty column. A destination card may belong to a different suit. A single exposed card can land on another exposed card exactly one rank higher. A King can enter only an empty column because no rank is higher.
One suit travels together
Selecting a shorter matching segment can reveal an available group move. A movable group must be face up and descend in one suit. The selected group's leading card determines which destination rank is legal. A mixed-suit descending sequence cannot move as one group.
Open the hidden layout
An exposed hidden card can create another possible destination. No separate click is needed to reveal a newly uncovered card. Moving all exposed cards off a hidden card turns that hidden card face up. Undo restores a hidden card's earlier state when the revealing action is reversed.
Keep columns occupied
The following details apply here. A stock deal may interrupt a sequence you were assembling. An empty column prevents dealing even when only the final three stock cards remain. Any valid movable group can fill an empty column. This Spiderette version requires every column to contain a card before a stock deal.
Collect all four suits
Keep these points in mind. 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. A complete face-up run is removed automatically from the bottom of a column.
Learn the shorter game
A few details help explain this feature. Hint suggests a legal move without checking every possible future continuation. Undo reverses a successful move or stock deal while recent history is available. A random Spiderette shuffle is not advertised as guaranteed winnable. Replay starts the same Spiderette shuffle again.
