A number for your shuffle

A few details help explain this feature. Enter a whole deal number between 1 and 4294967295. Numbered Deals lets you choose a reproducible Spider starting layout on cs3q.com. The number and suit setting together identify the starting shuffle. Select one suit, two suits or four suits before loading the deal.

Use the controls

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

Number and suits belong together

Here are the details for this mode. 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. The same deal number and suit setting produce the same opening cards with this game's shuffle algorithm. Changing the suit setting changes the deck used to create the deal.

Copy the deal link

Here are the details for this mode. When automatic copying is unavailable, the game displays a selectable link field. Copy deal link includes the selected number and suit setting in the page's link fragment. 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. Win by completing eight same-suit King-to-Ace sequences. A qualifying face-up run is removed automatically. A full descending sequence containing different suits stays on the tableau. Numbered Spider uses 104 cards arranged in ten columns with a stock pile.

Keep movable groups together

A few details help explain this feature. A descending same-suit group can move together as one unit. The destination card may belong to another suit in standard Spider. Any legal movable group may enter an empty column. An exposed card can move onto a card exactly one rank higher.

Prepare another row

The following details apply here. Each stock deal adds one card to each of the ten columns. Fill every empty column before using the stock. Undo can restore the position before a stock deal while the snapshot is available. Five stock deals are available at the beginning of a numbered game.

Replay and new numbers

Comparing different openings on one number can help you study your own decisions. New game chooses another deal number for the current suit setting. Replay resets the current number to its original shuffle. The current number remains visible beside the game controls.

No promise for every number

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