Read before your next round of Spider Solitaire
Before making a move, check the cards in view. Complete eight same-suit king-to-ace runs. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Work at your own pace. Build down by rank. Only descending same-suit groups move together. Empty columns accept any movable group. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
Two decks, one/two/four suits; fill every column before a ten-card stock deal. Free solo play, no wagering.
