Spider Solitaire is a free card game you can play unblocked in your browser. Pick Easy, Medium or Hard, then build complete King-to-Ace runs of the same suit to clear the table.
About Spider Solitaire
Spider Solitaire is one of the most popular solitaire games in the world, and it is a step up in strategy from classic Klondike. Instead of sending cards to foundations one at a time, you build a full run from King down to Ace in a single suit. When a run is complete, it leaves the table. Clear every card to win.
The game deals ten columns. Most cards start face down, with just the top card showing. You can place any card on a card one rank higher, but you can only pick up and move a group of cards together if they are all the same suit and in order. That rule is what makes Spider so interesting: an early move that mixes suits can block you later.
When you have no useful moves, click the stock pile to deal a new card onto every column. Choose your difficulty at the start. Easy uses one suit and is great for learning, Medium uses two suits, and Hard uses all four for a real test.
A score starts at 500 and drops with each move, and a move counter tracks your progress, so efficient play is rewarded. It runs in HTML5 with mouse or touch, works on school Chromebooks, and needs no download.
Fans love it because every shuffle feels like a fresh logic puzzle, and winning a four-suit game is genuinely satisfying.

Tips and Tricks
- Start on Easy (one suit) to learn how runs work.

- Empty columns are powerful, so use them to rearrange long runs.
- Uncover face-down cards before dealing from the stock.
- Fewer moves means a higher score, so plan before you drag.
FAQ
How do you win?
Build complete same-suit runs from King down to Ace. Each finished run leaves the table; clear every card to win.
What is Easy vs Medium vs Hard?
Easy uses one suit (spades), Medium two suits, Hard all four. More suits make same-suit runs harder to assemble.
How does scoring work?
On this page your score starts at 500 and drops by one per move, so shorter solutions score better.
Is Spider harder than Klondike?
Usually yes—especially with two or four suits. Spider uses two decks (104 cards) and needs more planning.
Controls?
Drag cards or same-suit descending runs between columns; click stock to deal a new row when stuck; use restart/help/sound buttons.
Empty column tip?
Empty columns are powerful for rearranging—especially in multi-suit games. Use them to untangle mixed stacks or free face-down cards; don’t fill them thoughtlessly.
Should beginners start on Easy?
Yes—page tips say start on Easy (one suit) to learn how runs work before adding suits.
Same-suit vs mixed stacks?
Build same-suit whenever you can; mixed-suit stacks are harder to move as a unit on harder difficulties.
When do I deal from the stock?
When tableau moves are exhausted. Dealing too early can bury helpful cards under a new row.
