A deal for today

Choose one suit, two suits or four suits using the game controls. The displayed challenge date identifies the daily set you are playing. A daily deal uses the standard 104-card Spider rules. Daily Challenge on cs3q.com offers one dated Spider deal for each supported suit count.

When a new day begins

Keep these points in mind. The date shown beside the controls is the date used for the current deal. This website uses America/New_York to determine its challenge date. A new calendar day in the challenge timezone produces another set of deals. Your device's local date can differ from the challenge date near midnight.

Return to a familiar layout

Keep these points in mind. Loading the same date and suit count reproduces that starting layout. Different suit settings are separate daily challenges. The challenge date and selected suit count determine the starting shuffle. The daily shuffle is not selected from the verified winning-deal collection.

The daily objective

The following details apply here. The run counter records your progress toward clearing all 104 cards. Clear eight same-suit sequences from King down to Ace to win. A mixed-suit sequence does not count as a completed run. A full face-up sequence is collected automatically at the bottom of a column.

Move and build

An empty column accepts any legal movable group. A single exposed card can land on a card exactly one rank higher, regardless of suit. A King needs an empty column because no higher rank can receive it. A group moves together only when its cards descend in one suit.

Use the stock

Every column must be occupied before you can deal from the stock. The daily table begins with fifty cards in the stock. Each stock deal places one face-up card on all ten columns. New stock cards can both create useful moves and interrupt existing sequences.

Pause and return

The following details apply here. Saved daily positions belong to this browser profile and domain. With saving enabled, the browser stores your current daily game for each suit setting. Returning to the same challenge can restore that saved position. Loading a new day's challenge replaces the saved daily position for that suit setting.

A new challenge is available

A few details help explain this feature. An open daily game checks periodically for a changed challenge date while the page is visible. The Today's challenge control loads the current day's deal. Completing an older open game records the date attached to that game. A date change displays a notice without replacing the cards you are playing.

Track daily completions

Here are the details for this mode. The local completion record is not a public leaderboard or an account-based history. Winning the same dated challenge repeatedly counts as one distinct daily completion. My Statistics shows daily starts and wins separately for each suit setting. A completed challenge is also recorded by its date and suit count in this browser.

Options for another attempt

A few details help explain this feature. Undo can reverse a successful card move or a stock deal while history is available. Replay starts the same daily layout again. Use Winning Deals when you want a starting position with a checked complete solution. Hints offer legal moves without guaranteeing a route to victory.
