Solitaire Spider Master
Solitaire Spider Master is a card puzzle that asks you to reorganize an entire shuffled deck across eight columns. The goal is to collect each suit into a complete sequence from King down to Ace, then watch that sequence vanish. Every move matters as you navigate the interplay between exposing hidden cards, managing empty columns, and assembling partial runs. Unlike simpler patience games, Spider Master multiplies the challenge by layering multiple suits together. You can stack cards of the same suit in descending order, but moving groups requires a clean run. Careful planning becomes your greatest asset as you decide when to deal fresh cards from the stock and when to hold back. With each cleared sequence, the table resets and the next puzzle begins—always demanding a fresh eye.

What is Solitaire Spider Master
Solitaire Spider Master turns a simple deck of cards into a strategic test of sequence-building and forward thinking. Can you untangle the eight columns and clear the table room by room?
How to Play
Click a card and drag it onto another card that is one rank higher and the same suit to build descending runs. Once you complete a King-to-Ace sequence, it lifts off the table, and filling an empty column lets you move any run or single card.
Tips for Playing
- Always prioritize exposing hidden cards over chasing a fast sequence.
- Keep empty columns open for as long as possible to use as flexible staging areas.
- Only move a full suit run to keep your ability to shift groups intact.
- Avoid dealing from the stock when you still have multiple face-down cards to uncover.
- Stack cards of the same suit together even if you don't need them yet—it reduces clutter.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many decks are used in Solitaire Spider Master?
Two standard decks of 52 cards are shuffled together, giving you 104 cards to arrange across eight columns.
What happens when I complete a King-to-Ace sequence?
The entire sequence is automatically removed from your tableau, and it counts toward clearing all eight sequences to win the game.
Can I move a group of cards if they aren't all in the same suit?
No, you can only move a group if the cards form a clean descending run of the same suit from top to bottom.
What is the purpose of an empty column?
An empty column lets you place any single card or any legal run of cards, giving you more flexibility to rearrange the tableau.
When should I deal a new row of cards from the stock?
It's usually wise to deal when you have at least one empty column and no more hidden cards to expose, as the new cards add to every column.
Is there a way to undo a move or restart the game?
Most versions of Solitaire Spider Master include an undo button to reverse recent moves and a new game option to reshuffle when you're stuck.
