Meet Spiderette
Here are the details for this mode. The smaller deck does not remove the need to manage suit changes. The tableau contains seven columns rather than ten. Spiderette on yzxlove.com uses one 52-card deck with all four suits. Four complete same-suit King-to-Ace runs win the game.
Seven growing columns
A few details help explain this feature. 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 opening tableau contains 28 cards altogether.
Twenty-four stock cards
A few details help explain this feature. The final stock deal contains three cards for the first three columns. 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.
Build down by rank
Keep these points in mind. 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
The following details apply here. Selecting a shorter matching segment can reveal an available group move. A mixed-suit descending sequence cannot move as one group. The selected group's leading card determines which destination rank is legal. A movable group must be face up and descend in one suit.
Open the hidden layout
A few details help explain this feature. Undo restores a hidden card's earlier state when the revealing action is reversed. Moving all exposed cards off a hidden card turns that hidden card face up. An exposed hidden card can create another possible destination. No separate click is needed to reveal a newly uncovered card.
Keep columns occupied
Keep these points in mind. 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. A stock deal may interrupt a sequence you were assembling. Any valid movable group can fill an empty column.
Four complete runs
Here are the details for this mode. 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. One run is needed for spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds.
Learn the shorter game
A few details help explain this feature. A random Spiderette shuffle is not advertised as guaranteed winnable. Replay starts the same Spiderette shuffle again. Undo reverses a successful move or stock deal while recent history is available. Hint suggests a legal move without checking every possible future continuation.
