A guide to your next move.
A number for your shuffle
Enter a whole deal number between 1 and 4294967295. Select one suit, two suits or four suits before loading the deal. Numbered Deals lets you choose a reproducible Spider starting layout on jdybhcw.com. The number and suit setting together identify the starting shuffle.
Use the controls
Here are the details for this mode. The Deal number field accepts positive whole numbers within the displayed range. Load deal applies the number and suit setting in the controls. Loading a different number can replace progress saved for the same mode and suit setting. An active unfinished game asks for confirmation before loading another selection.
Number and suits belong together
Changing the suit setting changes the deck used to create the deal. The same deal number and suit setting produce the same opening cards with this game's shuffle algorithm. Move choices after the opening are entirely up to the player. A deal number identifies a starting layout rather than a saved position halfway through play.
Copy the deal link
A few details help explain this feature. A shared numbered link opens the corresponding starting deal or matching local progress. When automatic copying is unavailable, the game displays a selectable link field. Copy deal link includes the selected number and suit setting in the page's link fragment. Sharing a link does not transfer another player's move history or statistics.
Collect eight sequences
Numbered Spider uses 104 cards arranged in ten columns with a stock pile. Win by completing eight same-suit King-to-Ace sequences. A qualifying face-up run is removed automatically. A full descending sequence containing different suits stays on the tableau.
Keep movable groups together
Keep these points in mind. An exposed card can move onto a card exactly one rank higher. A descending same-suit group can move together as one unit. The destination card may belong to another suit in standard Spider. Any legal movable group may enter an empty column.
The stock requirement
Keep these points in mind. Each stock deal adds one card to each of the ten columns. Fill every empty column before using the stock. Undo can restore the position before a stock deal while the snapshot is available. Five stock deals are available at the beginning of a numbered game.
Explore one layout
Here are the details for this mode. The current number remains visible beside the game controls. Replay resets the current number to its original shuffle. Comparing different openings on one number can help you study your own decisions. New game chooses another deal number for the current suit setting.
No promise for every number
A few details help explain this feature. Winning Deals provides a separate collection with verified legal solutions. The Hint button reports legal options rather than solving the whole game. Some choices can make a position harder even when another line might succeed. Numbered shuffles are not advertised as guaranteed winnable.
