A guide to your next move.
A number for your shuffle
Keep these points in mind. The number and suit setting together identify the starting shuffle. Select one suit, two suits or four suits before loading the deal. Numbered Deals lets you choose a reproducible Spider starting layout on sxstxww.com. Enter a whole deal number between 1 and 4294967295.
Use the controls
Keep these points in mind. Load deal applies the number and suit setting in the controls. Loading a different number can replace progress saved for the same mode and suit setting. The Deal number field accepts positive whole numbers within the displayed range. An active unfinished game asks for confirmation before loading another selection.
Number and suits belong together
Keep these points in mind. Move choices after the opening are entirely up to the player. A deal number identifies a starting layout rather than a saved position halfway through play. The same deal number and suit setting produce the same opening cards with this game's shuffle algorithm. Changing the suit setting changes the deck used to create the deal.
Share a starting point
Keep these points in mind. When automatic copying is unavailable, the game displays a selectable link field. Sharing a link does not transfer another player's move history or statistics. Copy deal link includes the selected number and suit setting in the page's link fragment. A shared numbered link opens the corresponding starting deal or matching local progress.
The numbered objective
A few details help explain this feature. A full descending sequence containing different suits stays on the tableau. Numbered Spider uses 104 cards arranged in ten columns with a stock pile. A qualifying face-up run is removed automatically. Win by completing eight same-suit King-to-Ace sequences.
Keep movable groups together
Here are the details for this mode. A descending same-suit group can move together as one unit. An exposed card can move onto a card exactly one rank higher. The destination card may belong to another suit in standard Spider. Any legal movable group may enter an empty column.
Prepare another row
Here are the details for this mode. Five stock deals are available at the beginning of a numbered game. Fill every empty column before using the stock. Each stock deal adds one card to each of the ten columns. Undo can restore the position before a stock deal while the snapshot is available.
Explore one layout
Keep these points in mind. The current number remains visible beside the game controls. New game chooses another deal number for the current suit setting. Replay resets the current number to its original shuffle. Comparing different openings on one number can help you study your own decisions.
No promise for every number
Keep these points in mind. Numbered shuffles are not advertised as guaranteed winnable. The Hint button reports legal options rather than solving the whole game. Winning Deals provides a separate collection with verified legal solutions. Some choices can make a position harder even when another line might succeed.
