Meet Spiderette
Keep these points in mind. Four complete same-suit King-to-Ace runs win the game. The smaller deck does not remove the need to manage suit changes. Spiderette on yatoou.com uses one 52-card deck with all four suits. The tableau contains seven columns rather than ten.
The opening staircase
The following details apply here. Only the bottom card of each initial column is face up. The first opening column contains one card and each following column contains one more. The opening tableau contains 28 cards altogether. The seventh opening column contains seven cards.
Twenty-four stock cards
The final stock deal contains three cards for the first three columns. Spiderette begins with 24 cards in the stock. A full stock deal adds one card to each of the seven columns. The stock is used in deals of seven, seven, seven and three cards.
Build down by rank
A few details help explain this feature. Any exposed card may enter an empty column. 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. A destination card may belong to a different suit.
Move a sequence
Keep these points in mind. 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
The following details apply here. Moving all exposed cards off a hidden card turns that hidden card face up. An exposed hidden card can create another possible destination. Undo restores a hidden card's earlier state when the revealing action is reversed. No separate click is needed to reveal a newly uncovered card.
Keep columns occupied
Here are the details for this mode. Any valid movable group can fill an empty column. This Spiderette version requires every column to contain a card before a stock deal. A stock deal may interrupt a sequence you were assembling. An empty column prevents dealing even when only the final three stock cards remain.
Four complete runs
Keep these points in mind. One run is needed for spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds. A complete face-up run is removed automatically from the bottom of a column. 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. 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.
