Spider Solitaire: 104 cards in ten columns, and you clear eight runs of one suit from King down to Ace. In English, Korean, Japanese, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Russian, Turkish and Indonesian. Every deal has a number The same number with the same suit count always gives the same layout, on your phone and on anyone else's. Write down a deal that beat you and open it again later, or send a friend the number and play the same board. There are 100,000 deals for each suit count. ⢠Tap the number at the top of the board for Open by number, Share this deal and Play later. Open by number is in the Menu too. ⢠Share this deal sends the opening layout and its number as one picture. ⢠New game won't pick a deal you saved for later; it waits at the top of Records. ⢠Choose what New game opens in Settings: any deal, ask every time, a deal you haven't won, or in order from #1. One, two or four suits One suit uses only spades; two suits adds hearts; four suits uses all of them. The more suits, the more often a run breaks. Tap the suit count above the board to change it. Records ⢠A game counts once you make a move, and a game you leave unfinished counts as a loss. ⢠Your day streak continues as long as you win one game a day, with any number of suits. ⢠Current streak, best streak, fastest time, fewest moves and win rate are kept separately for each suit count. ⢠A calendar shows how many games you won each day, with three dots for the suit counts you won. ⢠Each month shows your win rate for each suit count and a by-month list, and a month with a win on every day is marked as a perfect month. ⢠A past day with no win can be filled: watch one ad, then win the game that opens. ⢠Under fastest time and fewest moves stands the deal that set the record; tap it to open that deal. ⢠Tap a day you won in the calendar to see the games you played that day. ⢠Win a deal again and the win box compares it with your earlier wins on it. ⢠Your last ten wins are listed: ā¶ plays that deal again, and Replay shows the moves you made, from the start. Replay Watch any win again from the first move. Step back and forward one move at a time, play it at 1Ć, 2Ć or 4Ć, or drag the slider to any point in the game. Moving cards ⢠Tap a card and it moves somewhere sensible: same suit first, empty columns last. ⢠Drag a card and every column that can take it lights up, with the one it would land in marked. ⢠Press and hold to see where a tap would send it. ⢠Cards you can't lift together right now are dimmed. ⢠Unlimited undo. ⢠Tap to move, hold to preview and dimming can each be turned off in Settings. When a run comes off King down to Ace, and the thirteen cards fly to their slot one at a time, with a sound that climbs as each one lands. Sound follows the silent switch and never interrupts music you're playing. When only the last run is left, with no cards to deal and none face down, the app finishes it for you, and every win ends with one of eleven card animations. Also ⢠The rules and controls fit on one screen, shown on first launch and available again from How to play in the Menu. ⢠Close the app and your game is still there when you come back. ⢠Left-handed players can put the stock on the right. ⢠No subscription and no account.
