Meet Spiderette
Here are the details for this mode. The tableau contains seven columns rather than ten. Spiderette on huanyuhr.com uses one 52-card deck with all four suits. The smaller deck does not remove the need to manage suit changes. Four complete same-suit King-to-Ace runs win the game.
The opening staircase
The opening tableau contains 28 cards altogether. The seventh opening column contains seven cards. 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 remaining deck
Here are the details for this mode. 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. The final stock deal contains three cards for the first three columns. Spiderette begins with 24 cards in the stock.
Place an exposed card
The following details apply here. A destination card may belong to a different suit. A single exposed card can land on another exposed card exactly one rank higher. Any exposed card may enter an empty column. A King can enter only an empty column because no rank is higher.
Move a sequence
The following details apply here. A mixed-suit descending sequence cannot move as one group. A movable group must be face up and descend in one suit. Selecting a shorter matching segment can reveal an available group move. The selected group's leading card determines which destination rank is legal.
Open the hidden layout
Here are the details for this mode. 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. An exposed hidden card can create another possible destination.
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. This Spiderette version requires every column to contain a card before a stock deal. Any valid movable group can fill an empty column.
Collect all four suits
The following details apply here. One run is needed for spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds. A qualifying run contains thirteen cards of one suit from King down to Ace. A complete face-up run is removed automatically from the bottom of a column. Four collected runs account for every card in the deck.
Learn the shorter game
The following details apply here. Undo reverses a successful move or stock deal while recent history is available. Hint suggests a legal move without checking every possible future continuation. Replay starts the same Spiderette shuffle again. A random Spiderette shuffle is not advertised as guaranteed winnable.
