Silkweb Spider Solitaire is the classic patience game played with two decks and ten columns of cards. Move cards onto a card one rank higher, build a run of one suit from King down to Ace and it is swept off the table. Clear all eight runs to win. Choose 1 suit for a relaxed game, 2 suits for a good challenge, or 4 suits if you want the full test. Easy and medium deals come from a pool of games checked by a solver, so they can be won. A Daily Game gives everyone the same deal, and every win adds another ring to your silk web and unlocks new card backs. Cards have large corner numbers so they stay readable even on a narrow phone screen.
How to play Silkweb Spider Solitaire
- Ten columns of cards are dealt, with only the top card of each column face up.
- Move a card or a run of cards onto a card that is one rank higher. The colour or suit of the card underneath does not matter.
- Only cards of the same suit in order, such as a 7 and a 6 of hearts, can be moved together as a run.
- Build a full run of one suit from King down to Ace and it is removed from the table. Remove all eight runs to win.
- When you run out of moves, tap the Deal button to place one new card on every column. Every column needs at least one card before you can deal.
Tips and strategy
- Try to empty a column early. An empty column lets you move any card or run there and is the most powerful tool in the game.
- Build on cards of the same suit whenever you can. Mixed-suit runs cannot be moved together.
- Prefer moves that turn over a face-down card. New cards give you new options.
- Save the Deal button for when you are out of good moves. Dealing covers up the cards you were working on.
- Use Undo freely and press Hint if you get stuck. Hint points to a promising move.
