In one suit Spider Solitaire all 104 cards are spades, so any descending sequence is already same-suit and moves as a group. You can focus on uncovering hidden cards, using empty columns well and choosing when to deal from the stock.

Why start with one suit

A 9 placed on a 10 makes a run that can move together straight away — you never have to take it apart to separate hearts from spades. That makes 1 suit Spider the best way to learn the game and a relaxing game when you just want to play.

Spider Solitaire 1 suit is a good version to try first: it is free, quick to learn and still asks you to think about every deal.

It still takes planning

One suit does not show you the face-down cards or promise that every deal can be won. A legal move can fill a column you wanted to keep free, and a stock deal covers every column with a new card. Turn over hidden cards first and keep at least one empty column for as long as it helps.

Stock, hints and the goal

Build eight complete sequences from King down to Ace in one suit; each complete sequence is removed automatically. The stock holds five deals of ten cards, and every column must hold a card before you deal.

You get three free hints per deal. Undo is unlimited, but each use costs one point. Your current deal is saved in this browser; choosing a different number of suits starts a new deal.

THE IDEA

What you do in Spider Solitaire

Play Spider Solitaire online for free. This classic Spider Solitaire game uses two decks — 104 cards in ten columns. Build descending runs from King to Ace in one suit: every complete run leaves the table, and you win when all eight are gone. Choose one suit for a relaxed game, two suits for a real challenge or four suits for the full test. Undo, three free hints per deal and an automatic save in your browser are included, with no download needed.

Spider Solitaire is about uncovering face-down cards and keeping your runs in one suit. You can put any card on a card one rank higher, whatever its suit, but only a same-suit run moves as a group. A quick legal move can therefore make a column harder to clear later.

In this Spider Solitaire game, when no useful move is left, deal from the stock: each deal adds one card to all ten columns, and a game has five deals. Every column must hold at least one card before you deal. Empty columns are valuable, because they accept any card or same-suit run.

Before your next move

Turn over hidden cards first; tidying cards that are already visible rarely helps.
Check the suits in a run before trying to move it — a mixed run will not travel together.
Keep an empty column free for as long as it is useful, then fill it before you deal.
Undo is unlimited, but each use costs one point.

Questions about Spider Solitaire

How do you play Spider Solitaire?

Arrange the cards into descending runs from King to Ace. A single card can go on any card one rank higher; a run moves together only if it is all one suit. Each complete same-suit run leaves the table, and you win when all eight are cleared.

Is Spider Solitaire free?

Yes. You can play Spider Solitaire online free in your browser, with no download. Every deal comes with three free hints.

What is the difference between 1, 2 and 4 suits?

One suit uses only spades, so every descending run can move together — the easiest way to play. Two suits adds hearts, and four suits uses spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs, so you have to sort runs by suit as you build them.

Why can’t I deal new cards?

Each stock deal adds one card to all ten columns, so every column must hold at least one card first. A game has five stock deals; when they are used up, Deal is no longer available.

Does Undo cost points?

Undo is unlimited, but each use costs one point and counts as a move. It brings back the cards, not the score.

Will my game be saved?

Yes, in this browser. Your cards, score, moves and time stay after a page reload. Switching to a different number of suits starts a new deal, and clearing site data or using another device starts fresh.

Can every deal be won?

Some deals are much harder than others, and the game does not promise that every deal can be won. Undo lets you try a different line when a move does not work out.
