Choose a starting deal
A few details help explain this feature. The number and suit setting together identify the starting shuffle. Numbered Deals lets you choose a reproducible Spider starting layout on xalongli.com. Enter a whole deal number between 1 and 4294967295. Select one suit, two suits or four suits before loading the deal.
Use the controls
A few details help explain this feature. An active unfinished game asks for confirmation before loading another selection. The Deal number field accepts positive whole numbers within the displayed range. Loading a different number can replace progress saved for the same mode and suit setting. Load deal applies the number and suit setting in the controls.
Number and suits belong together
Keep these points in mind. The same deal number and suit setting produce the same opening cards with this game's shuffle algorithm. Changing the suit setting changes the deck used to create the deal. A deal number identifies a starting layout rather than a saved position halfway through play. Move choices after the opening are entirely up to the player.
Share a starting point
The following details apply here. When automatic copying is unavailable, the game displays a selectable link field. 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. Sharing a link does not transfer another player's move history or statistics.
Collect eight sequences
Keep these points in mind. A full descending sequence containing different suits stays on the tableau. Numbered Spider uses 104 cards arranged in ten columns with a stock pile. Win by completing eight same-suit King-to-Ace sequences. A qualifying face-up run is removed automatically.
Keep movable groups together
A descending same-suit group can move together as one unit. The destination card may belong to another suit in standard Spider. Any legal movable group may enter an empty column. An exposed card can move onto a card exactly one rank higher.
Prepare another row
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. Fill every empty column before using the stock. Each stock deal adds one card to each of the ten columns.
Replay and new numbers
Here are the details for this mode. Replay resets the current number to its original shuffle. New game chooses another deal number for the current suit setting. Comparing different openings on one number can help you study your own decisions. The current number remains visible beside the game controls.
A reproducible deal is not a proof
Here are the details for this mode. Some choices can make a position harder even when another line might succeed. The Hint button reports legal options rather than solving the whole game. Winning Deals provides a separate collection with verified legal solutions. Numbered shuffles are not advertised as guaranteed winnable.
