Spider Solitaire isn’t just another Solitaire family game—it’s a brain-boosting battle against 104 cards! Learn Microsoft rules, pro tactics, and quick fixes to dominate this classic. Whether you’re a single-suit newbie or four-suit expert, we’ll transform chaos into victory. Ready to conquer?
Arrange cards into foundation piles from King to Ace. Use ten tableau columns for moves—never leave them empty! Build sequences downward (e.g., 9♠️ on 10❤️). Match colors in easy mode; mix suits for hardcore challenges. Win by clearing eight full card sequences.
Win conditions demand strategy: Expose hidden cards first. Empty columns hold power—move kings there instantly. Play offline? Your progress saves via local storage. Remember: Microsoft rules reward smart moves, not speed.
Start with 54 cards dealt face down. Drag-and-drop cards between columns to free trapped ones. Tap the stockpile (top-left) when stuck—but only if all columns have cards! Enable auto-complete for instant moves on phones.
Stuck with "Why can’t I deal cards?"? Fill empty columns first! Use the undo function to backtrack mistakes. Play without mouse? Touchscreens support swipes and taps.
| Action | How-To |
|---|---|
| Move a card | Drag it or tap—it snaps to valid spots. |
| Deal new cards | Click stock pile only when all 10 columns have cards. |
| Complete a suit | Build King-to-Ace sequence; it auto-moves to the foundation. |
Microsoft's scoring system starts at 500 points. Lose 1 point per move; gain 100 per sequence completion. Difficulty levels change everything:
Points calculation example: Win in 80 moves = 420 points (500-80). Add 800 for 8 sequences = 1,220! High score strategy: Fewer moves = bigger bonuses. Track progress via statistics tracking.
