A few things you might be wondering
Is Spider Solitaire harder than Klondike?
Four-suit Spider is usually harder than ordinary Klondike. One-suit Spider is much easier, so difficulty depends on the suit setting and the Klondike draw mode.
Does Spider Solitaire use foundations?
Classic Spider does not use Klondike-style foundations. You clear complete King-to-Ace suit runs from the tableau instead.
Which game should beginners learn first?
Most beginners should learn Klondike first because the rules are more familiar and Draw 1 gives a gentler starting point.
What if I make a mistake?
Use Undo when it is available to take back a move. Check the current mode’s rules for any effect on scoring or eligibility. Starting or restarting a game may replace your current progress.
