Spider Solitaire is an online card game that features Spider Solitaire fun on a classic green tabletop. The player must build the eight legs of the spider by rearranging face-up and face-down color- and suit-specific cards from 10 columns and a draw pile. The builds for the legs must feature a King at the top of the pile and an A at the bottom in descending order (i.e., K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and A). When the player succeeds in creating a leg, the game sends the column to one of eight empty spaces above the columns.
The player starts by selecting an Easy, Normal or Hard mode. The playfield displays 500 stars, a timer and the number of moves along the top of the screen. The player can undo any move they make at any time in reverse by using the back arrow at the bottom-right corner. They can use the upper-left corner Menu and lower-left plus (+) sign options to start a new game, reset the current game, change the sound and access other games.
It's important to note that Spider Solitaire's draw pile in the upper-left corner should be the player's last resort. When they select the pile, it distributes 10 new cards to the columns. These cards can block current builds and make it difficult to rearrange the cards. The player must then spend extra time attempting to place the extra cards into new positions that allow them to access the builds they worked on prior to using the draw pile.
