A number for your shuffle
Here are the details for this mode. Numbered Deals lets you choose a reproducible Spider starting layout on fs-weida.com. Enter a whole deal number between 1 and 4294967295. The number and suit setting together identify the starting shuffle. Select one suit, two suits or four suits before loading the deal.
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. Loading a different number can replace progress saved for the same mode and suit setting. The Deal number field accepts positive whole numbers within the displayed range.
Number and suits belong together
The following details apply here. Move choices after the opening are entirely up to the player. Changing the suit setting changes the deck used to create the deal. A deal number identifies a starting layout rather than a saved position halfway through play. The same deal number and suit setting produce the same opening cards with this game's shuffle algorithm.
Share a starting point
A few details help explain this feature. 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. 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.
Collect eight sequences
The following details apply here. A qualifying face-up run is removed automatically. Win by completing eight same-suit King-to-Ace sequences. Numbered Spider uses 104 cards arranged in ten columns with a stock pile. A full descending sequence containing different suits stays on the tableau.
Keep movable groups together
The following details apply here. A descending same-suit group can move together as one unit. An exposed card can move onto a card exactly one rank higher. The destination card may belong to another suit in standard Spider. Any legal movable group may enter an empty column.
Prepare another row
Keep these points in mind. 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. Fill every empty column before using the stock. Each stock deal adds one card to each of the ten columns.
Replay and new numbers
The following details apply here. The current number remains visible beside the game controls. New game chooses another deal number for the current suit setting. Replay resets the current number to its original shuffle. Comparing different openings on one number can help you study your own decisions.
A reproducible deal is not a proof
Keep these points in mind. The Hint button reports legal options rather than solving the whole game. Numbered shuffles are not advertised as guaranteed winnable. Winning Deals provides a separate collection with verified legal solutions. Some choices can make a position harder even when another line might succeed.
