NOTES FROM THE TABLE

Choose a starting deal

Keep these points in mind. Enter a whole deal number between 1 and 4294967295. Numbered Deals lets you choose a reproducible Spider starting layout on fyxhw.com. Select one suit, two suits or four suits before loading the deal. The number and suit setting together identify the starting shuffle.

Load a chosen number

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

Reproduce the layout

Here are the details for this mode. The same deal number and suit setting produce the same opening cards with this game's shuffle algorithm. A deal number identifies a starting layout rather than a saved position halfway through play. 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

Keep these points in mind. Copy deal link includes the selected number and suit setting in the page's link fragment. When automatic copying is unavailable, the game displays a selectable link field. A shared numbered link opens the corresponding starting deal or matching local progress. Sharing a link does not transfer another player's move history or statistics.

Collect eight sequences

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

Build by rank

Keep these points in mind. An exposed card can move onto a card exactly one rank higher. The destination card may belong to another suit in standard Spider. A descending same-suit group can move together as one unit. Any legal movable group may enter an empty column.

Prepare another row

Keep these points in mind. Each stock deal adds one card to each of the ten columns. Five stock deals are available at the beginning of a numbered game. Fill every empty column before using the stock. Undo can restore the position before a stock deal while the snapshot is available.

Explore one layout

A few details help explain this feature. 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.

A reproducible deal is not a proof

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