NOTES FROM THE TABLE

Choose a starting deal

Here are the details for this mode. Select one suit, two suits or four suits before loading the deal. Enter a whole deal number between 1 and 4294967295. Numbered Deals lets you choose a reproducible Spider starting layout on it9blog.com. The number and suit setting together identify the starting shuffle.

Load a chosen number

The Deal number field accepts positive whole numbers within the displayed range. Load deal applies the number and suit setting in the controls. Loading a different number can replace progress saved for the same mode and suit setting. An active unfinished game asks for confirmation before loading another selection.

Reproduce the layout

Here are the details for this mode. The same deal number and suit setting produce the same opening cards with this game's shuffle algorithm. A deal number identifies a starting layout rather than a saved position halfway through play. Changing the suit setting changes the deck used to create the deal. Move choices after the opening are entirely up to the player.

Share a starting point

Here are the details for this mode. Sharing a link does not transfer another player's move history or statistics. Copy deal link includes the selected number and suit setting in the page's link fragment. A shared numbered link opens the corresponding starting deal or matching local progress. When automatic copying is unavailable, the game displays a selectable link field.

Collect eight sequences

Here are the details for this mode. Numbered Spider uses 104 cards arranged in ten columns with a stock pile. Win by completing eight same-suit King-to-Ace sequences. A full descending sequence containing different suits stays on the tableau. A qualifying face-up run is removed automatically.

Build by rank

Keep these points in mind. An exposed card can move onto a card exactly one rank higher. The destination card may belong to another suit in standard Spider. A descending same-suit group can move together as one unit. Any legal movable group may enter an empty column.

The stock requirement

Fill every empty column before using the stock. Undo can restore the position before a stock deal while the snapshot is available. Five stock deals are available at the beginning of a numbered game. Each stock deal adds one card to each of the ten columns.

Explore one layout

Keep these points in mind. Comparing different openings on one number can help you study your own decisions. Replay resets the current number to its original shuffle. New game chooses another deal number for the current suit setting. The current number remains visible beside the game controls.

No promise for every number

The Hint button reports legal options rather than solving the whole game. Some choices can make a position harder even when another line might succeed. Numbered shuffles are not advertised as guaranteed winnable. Winning Deals provides a separate collection with verified legal solutions.
