Some solitaire games are over in a few minutes. This one asks for patience. Two full decks are spread across ten columns, and you have to sort the mess into eight clean runs from King down to Ace, each in a single suit. Spider Solitaire unblocked lets you set the challenge before the deal by choosing one, two or four suits.
It is part of Christopher Müller's PaperGames collection, with crisp cards drawn in code that stay easy to read on any screen.
How to play Spider Solitaire
The deal puts 54 cards on the table, and just the last card in every column starts face up. The remaining 50 sit in the stock. You can drop any single card onto a card one rank higher, no matter the suit, so a black 9 can go on a red 10. Any card or valid run can go into an empty column.
Moving a stack is pickier. Several cards can travel together only when they already form a run in one suit, counting down. A mixed run has to be broken apart one card at a time.
Stuck? Click the stock to deal one card onto each of the ten columns. You get five deals, and the stock won't deal while a column is empty. A finished King-to-Ace run in one suit leaves the table on its own. Clear all eight and you win.

Tips
- Pick same-suit moves when you have a choice. Matching suits keeps your runs movable, while mixed stacks lock up.
- Guard empty columns. An open column is your best tool for reshuffling a messy stack. Don't drop a random card there just because you can.
- Dig into the tall columns. The four left columns hold more face-down cards, so turning those over opens the most new options.
- Exhaust your moves before dealing. Every deal drops a fresh card on each column and may bury a nearly finished sequence.
- Use undo to test ideas. Undo works on moves and deals alike, so you can try a line and back out if it goes nowhere.
Spider Solitaire questions
Which suit setting is easiest?
One suit. Every card shares the same suit, so any descending stack you build can move as a block. Two suits is a solid middle step, and four suits is a real test.
Is my game saved?
Yes. Your deal in progress stays stored by the browser, so you can close the page and pick up later on the same device.
Why won't the stock deal more cards?
Either all five deals are used up or one of the columns is empty. Move a card into the empty column and try the stock again.
Can I play without a mouse?
Yes. Arrow keys move between cards and columns and Enter picks up or drops. Touch screens work with simple taps.
