Spider Solitaire 1 Suit vs 2 Suits vs 4 Suits
Spider Solitaire uses the same rules at every level. The only thing that changes is how many suits are in the 104 cards, and that changes everything.
What's in the deck
| Level | Cards | Moving runs |
|---|---|---|
| 1 suit | 8 sets of spades | Every ordered run moves together |
| 2 suits | 4 sets of spades + 4 sets of hearts | Only runs of one colour (suit) move together |
| 4 suits | 2 full packs | Runs must be one exact suit |
1 suit: relax
Because every card is a spade, any King-to-Ace run is a complete set. Most games can be won with sensible play. It's the best way to learn how dealing and empty columns work, or to play something calm before sleep.
2 suits: the sweet spot
Now a 6♥ on a 7♠ is legal but can't move as a group. You'll need to plan: build same-suit runs, use empty columns to separate mixed piles, and choose when to deal. A good player wins a fair share of games. For most people this is the most satisfying level.
4 suits: expert
With four suits, same-suit runs are rare and the table jams quickly. Winning takes careful planning and lots of undo. Try it when 2 suits starts to feel easy.
Which to choose
