Game guide · XIAMI-GZS
Making your first moves in Spider Solitaire
Keep the active rule in mind. Complete eight same-suit king-to-ace runs. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Check the relevant controls before continuing. Begin with the objective. Build down by rank. Only descending same-suit groups move together. Empty columns accept any movable group. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
Two decks, one/two/four suits; fill every column before a ten-card stock deal. Free solo play, no wagering.
Practice with a purpose
Before making a move, check the cards in view. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.

Work through an example
A mixed-suit descending stack cannot move as one group. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
A useful caution
Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
