Spider Solitaire: what to know before playing
Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. Complete eight same-suit king-to-ace runs. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Use another round to revisit a decision. Keep the active rule in mind. Build down by rank. Only descending same-suit groups move together. Empty columns accept any movable group. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
Two decks, one/two/four suits; fill every column before a ten-card stock deal. Free solo play, no wagering.

Your inputs
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Work at your own pace.
An example to follow
A mixed-suit descending stack cannot move as one group. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
Keep this in mind
A clear plan starts with the current position. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
