Spider Solitaire: what to know before playing
Look at the complete hand before deciding. Complete eight same-suit king-to-ace runs. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Build down by rank. Only descending same-suit groups move together. Empty columns accept any movable group. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
Two decks, one/two/four suits; fill every column before a ten-card stock deal. Free solo play, no wagering.
An idea for your next attempt
