Select a face-up card, then a destination column. Dragging also works.

A number for your shuffle

A few details help explain this feature. The number and suit setting together identify the starting shuffle. Select one suit, two suits or four suits before loading the deal. Numbered Deals lets you choose a reproducible Spider starting layout on bgfhb.com. Enter a whole deal number between 1 and 4294967295.

Load a chosen number

An active unfinished game asks for confirmation before loading another selection. Loading a different number can replace progress saved for the same mode and suit setting. The Deal number field accepts positive whole numbers within the displayed range. Load deal applies the number and suit setting in the controls.

Number and suits belong together

A deal number identifies a starting layout rather than a saved position halfway through play. 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. Changing the suit setting changes the deck used to create the deal.

Share a starting point

The following details apply here. Sharing a link does not transfer another player's move history or statistics. 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. A shared numbered link opens the corresponding starting deal or matching local progress.

The numbered objective

The following details apply here. A qualifying face-up run is removed automatically. Numbered Spider uses 104 cards arranged in ten columns with a stock pile. Win by completing eight same-suit King-to-Ace sequences. A full descending sequence containing different suits stays on the tableau.

Build by rank

A few details help explain this feature. A descending same-suit group can move together as one unit. Any legal movable group may enter an empty column. An exposed card can move onto a card exactly one rank higher. The destination card may belong to another suit in standard Spider.

The stock requirement

A few details help explain this feature. Fill every empty column before using the stock. Five stock deals are available at the beginning of a numbered game. Each stock deal adds one card to each of the ten columns. Undo can restore the position before a stock deal while the snapshot is available.

Replay and new numbers

A few details help explain this feature. New game chooses another deal number for the current suit setting. Replay resets the current number to its original shuffle. Comparing different openings on one number can help you study your own decisions. The current number remains visible beside the game controls.

A reproducible deal is not a proof

Numbered shuffles are not advertised as guaranteed winnable. The Hint button reports legal options rather than solving the whole game. Winning Deals provides a separate collection with verified legal solutions. Some choices can make a position harder even when another line might succeed.
