Spider Solitaire — One Suit

Every card is a spade. Arrange the 104 cards into eight descending king-to-ace runs; each finished run leaves the board automatically.

Working with ten columns

Place a card on the next higher rank: a six goes on a seven. Move one exposed card or an uninterrupted descending run. An empty column accepts either, giving you room to uncover hidden cards and join separated sequences.

Before dealing another row

  1. Look for joins that uncover a face-down card.
  2. Use an empty column to rearrange runs, then refill it: the stock cannot deal while any column is empty.
  3. Click the stock only when you are ready for ten new cards, one on every column. There are five such deals.

A long run is useful only if you can still reach the cards beneath it. Keep working space when possible, and avoid burying your best receiving cards just before a stock deal.
