To clarify, you could still build a sequence from Kings down to Aces made up of different suits - those would be legal moves if done in the correct order so that you never have to move them as a group (since you’d be unable to do so) - it will just be of limited use to you because those cards will remain on the table (again, only cards of the same suit type will be immediately cleared when you complete a sequence of King to Ace). First, you would move the 8 of Hearts onto the 9 of Spades, and then you would move the 7 of Spades onto the 8 of Hearts.Īs opposed to the easy level, where any sequence of King down to Ace will clear that sequence from the table, on Normal and above, the sequence must be of the same suit for it to be cleared. Now, in this example, if you did things in a slightly different order, you could still end up with the 7, 8, and 9 all stacked together. This is because cards that are not of the same suit, cannot be moved together. It would be a legal move for you to place the 7 of Spades onto the 8 of Hearts, but you would not be allowed to move the 7 and 8 together onto the 9. If you did the same moves as were used in the easy game example, you’d get stuck.

Let’s say that instead of 7, 8, and 9 all in Spades, you instead have: Let’s take a similar example to the easy game but modify it a bit.

The game is played with 2 suits now (spades and hearts) and strategy becomes much more important. On normal mode, things start to get trickier. You could then move those two cards as a group onto a 9 of Spades. For example, you can put a 7 of Spades onto an 8 of Spades. This would be equivalent to playing a game of spider solitaire with real cards where you just ignore the suits and colors altogether.Īt the easy level, any sequential card move is valid. In easy mode, only one suit type is used (spades). This is also the best mode for when you’re new to spider solitaire and just starting to learn the rules. On the Spider Soli site, you can play at three difficulty levels: easy, normal, and hardcore.Įasy is best suited to casual gameplay and/or when you only have a few minutes to play. When you have removed all of the cards from the table, you win. Once you have completed a sequence (and remember that they all have to be the same suit), that sequence of cards is immediately removed from the table. So how do you do that? You create a sequence of card of one suit from King down to the Ace.

The ultimate goal is to remove all of the cards from the table. Spider Solitaire is a solo player solitaire game (also known as a patience card game).
