Meet Spiderette
A few details help explain this feature. Spiderette on reflex7.com uses one 52-card deck with all four suits. The smaller deck does not remove the need to manage suit changes. The tableau contains seven columns rather than ten. Four complete same-suit King-to-Ace runs win the game.
The opening staircase
The following details apply here. Only the bottom card of each initial column is face up. The opening tableau contains 28 cards altogether. The first opening column contains one card and each following column contains one more. The seventh opening column contains seven cards.
The remaining deck
Here are the details for this mode. Spiderette begins with 24 cards in the stock. The stock is used in deals of seven, seven, seven and three cards. A full stock deal adds one card to each of the seven columns. The final stock deal contains three cards for the first three columns.
Place an exposed card
The following details apply here. Any exposed card may enter an empty column. A single exposed card can land on another exposed card exactly one rank higher. A King can enter only an empty column because no rank is higher. A destination card may belong to a different suit.
Move a sequence
The following details apply here. A movable group must be face up and descend in one suit. Selecting a shorter matching segment can reveal an available group move. The selected group's leading card determines which destination rank is legal. A mixed-suit descending sequence cannot move as one group.
Expose another card
An exposed hidden card can create another possible destination. Moving all exposed cards off a hidden card turns that hidden card face up. No separate click is needed to reveal a newly uncovered card. Undo restores a hidden card's earlier state when the revealing action is reversed.
Prepare to use the stock
Keep these points in mind. This Spiderette version requires every column to contain a card before a stock deal. A stock deal may interrupt a sequence you were assembling. An empty column prevents dealing even when only the final three stock cards remain. Any valid movable group can fill an empty column.
Four complete runs
A few details help explain this feature. One run is needed for spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds. Four collected runs account for every card in the deck. A qualifying run contains thirteen cards of one suit from King down to Ace. A complete face-up run is removed automatically from the bottom of a column.
Learn the shorter game
A few details help explain this feature. Undo reverses a successful move or stock deal while recent history is available. Hint suggests a legal move without checking every possible future continuation. Replay starts the same Spiderette shuffle again. A random Spiderette shuffle is not advertised as guaranteed winnable.
