- Move order matters. It's often possible to accomplish more than one objective concurrently. For example, if moves are played in the correct order, it could be possible to guarantee a card turned in more than one column while moving cards in a different order would not.
- There are many occasions in games where the player is presented with a choice of which column to turn a hidden card in. The convention wisdom is to choose the column which contains the fewest number of hidden cards, thinking that the chances of soon regaining a vacant column are maximized. This strategy is sometimes a poor one. Before deciding, the player should take into account everything contained in the current game state, not just the number and location of hidden cards.
- At times it's best to not move a card from atop of an Ace, even though it's possible. When an Ace in a pile is blocking access to many cards, whether visible or not, it's often a good idea to move the Ace, if possible. Also, keep in mind that no suit can be built without the Ace, so burying then too deeply can backfire.
- Even though most players dread the King because it can only be moved from a pile by placing it into a vacant column, it has a few advantages. Up to 12 ranks can be piled onto a King, more than for any other rank. As well, with only a few rare exceptions, the King is the only rank that can be removed from the Tableau without the player ever moving it. Do not disrespect the King.
- Most seem to believe that a King should never be placed into the only vacant column. As a general rule, this might be good advice, but not always. There are times when a King is blocking access to so many cards that moving it is the only hope of winning.
- Any rank that does not have its prior-in-rank on top of it can be viewed as an asset or resource, except for the Ace, which has no prior-in-rank. Once a card is moved on top of a resource, the resource becomes spent or used. The idea is to use a resource in a manner that best increases the chance of victory. Don't use a valuable resource until you have to, but don't be afraid to use it when you feel that it's in your best interest.
- When faced with a choice of giving up an empty column either to turn a hidden card or to extend one or more runs (adding order), carefully examine the game state before making a decision. Very often, the better option is to add order to the game. This also has the advantage that turning hidden cards later in the game is likely to be easier.
- For the few who find that they want even more of a challenge, they can choose never to invoke the popular Undo option.

Rules for Spider Solitaire
The overall goal of course is to create on the tableau 8 suites of 13 cards in a descending suit sequence from King to Ace and to remove all cards from the table. However there are three different variations of Spider Solitaire. It all comes down to suits. Each card deck consists of four of these suits - Diamonds, Spades, Clubs and Hearts. This Solitare can be played with one, two or four suits. But let's start with the general rules that basically apply to all variations.
To Win
To group all the cards in sets of 13 cards in descending suit sequence from King to Ace.
Tableau
Spider Solitaire 4 247
A tableau of 44 cards in ten piles, with five cards in each of the first four piles, and four cards in the remaining six piles. Alternately, a 54 card deal, with six cards in each of the first four piles and five cards in the remaining piles, is available. The top card of each column is available for play to another tableau column. Spaces may be filled by any card or valid sequence of cards.
Foundations
The foundations are not built on to directly. The goal is to create a suite of 13 cards of the same suit from Ace to King. When all of the cards have been grouped and automatically moved to the foundations, the game is won.
Stock
After all possible moves are made, click once on the stock to deal a new row of cards to the tableau. There is no redeal.
How to play
Classic Spider Solitaire 4 Decks
Available cards may be built down in value (any suit) ending at an Ace. A King cannot be built on an Ace. On clearing away cards above a face-down card in the tableau, the card is turned up and becomes available for play. A space made by clearing away an entire pile may be filled by any available card or build, as long as the build is built down in value. Any or all of the cards on the top of a tableau pile that are built down in value may be lifted as a unit to be built elsewhere. The top card of each tableau pile is always available.
Variations
There are three variants of the classic Spider Solitaire. The first version of the solitaire is the simplest with one suit, the second is more complicated with two suits, and the third most difficult to unfold with four suits and collect it can not everyone. In a complex variant, the probability of winning is 30%. Actively using the cancellation of moves, the probability of winning is close to 50%. Also there is many another variations such as: Gigantic Spider, Relaxed Spider, Spiderwort, Spiderette, Black Widow, Simple Simon, Scorpion.
Tips
Same suit sequences should be preferred even though building is down regardless of suit. The object is to build down in suit sequences. Spaces should be made as soon as possible, and used to move cards into groups by suit. If you are able to build all cards in descending rank from King to Ace, then it is always possible to reorder the cards in descending suit sequence and move them to the foundations to win.
