Meet Spiderette
Here are the details for this mode. Spiderette on 0c0f.com uses one 52-card deck with all four suits. The tableau contains seven columns rather than ten. The smaller deck does not remove the need to manage suit changes. Four complete same-suit King-to-Ace runs win the game.
The opening staircase
A few details help explain this feature. The opening tableau contains 28 cards altogether. Only the bottom card of each initial column is face up. The first opening column contains one card and each following column contains one more. The seventh opening column contains seven cards.
Twenty-four stock cards
The stock is used in deals of seven, seven, seven and three cards. Spiderette begins with 24 cards in the stock. The final stock deal contains three cards for the first three columns. A full stock deal adds one card to each of the seven columns.
Place an exposed card
A King can enter only an empty column because no rank is higher. A single exposed card can land on another exposed card exactly one rank higher. A destination card may belong to a different suit. Any exposed card may enter an empty column.
One suit travels together
The following details apply here. The selected group's leading card determines which destination rank is legal. A mixed-suit descending sequence cannot move as one group. A movable group must be face up and descend in one suit. Selecting a shorter matching segment can reveal an available group move.
Expose another card
A few details help explain this feature. No separate click is needed to reveal a newly uncovered card. Undo restores a hidden card's earlier state when the revealing action is reversed. Moving all exposed cards off a hidden card turns that hidden card face up. An exposed hidden card can create another possible destination.
Keep columns occupied
A few details help explain this feature. This Spiderette version requires every column to contain a card before a stock deal. An empty column prevents dealing even when only the final three stock cards remain. A stock deal may interrupt a sequence you were assembling. Any valid movable group can fill an empty column.
Four complete runs
One run is needed for spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds. A qualifying run contains thirteen cards of one suit from King down to Ace. A complete face-up run is removed automatically from the bottom of a column. Four collected runs account for every card in the deck.
Useful practice controls
A few details help explain this feature. Replay starts the same Spiderette shuffle again. Undo reverses a successful move or stock deal while recent history is available. A random Spiderette shuffle is not advertised as guaranteed winnable. Hint suggests a legal move without checking every possible future continuation.
