Spider Solitaire: from controls to your first round
For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Complete eight same-suit king-to-ace runs. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. Begin with the objective. Build down by rank. Only descending same-suit groups move together. Empty columns accept any movable group. Use another round to revisit a decision.
Two decks, one/two/four suits; fill every column before a ten-card stock deal. Free solo play, no wagering.
Try a more deliberate round
Look at the complete hand before deciding. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
