A number for your shuffle
A few details help explain this feature. The number and suit setting together identify the starting shuffle. Numbered Deals lets you choose a reproducible Spider starting layout on edvbuch.com. Select one suit, two suits or four suits before loading the deal. Enter a whole deal number between 1 and 4294967295.
Use the controls
Loading a different number can replace progress saved for the same mode and suit setting. An active unfinished game asks for confirmation before loading another selection. The Deal number field accepts positive whole numbers within the displayed range. Load deal applies the number and suit setting in the controls.
Number and suits belong together
The following details apply here. 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. A deal number identifies a starting layout rather than a saved position halfway through play.
Share a starting point
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. Sharing a link does not transfer another player's move history or statistics. A shared numbered link opens the corresponding starting deal or matching local progress.
The numbered objective
The following details apply here. Win by completing eight same-suit King-to-Ace sequences. A full descending sequence containing different suits stays on the tableau. Numbered Spider uses 104 cards arranged in ten columns with a stock pile. A qualifying face-up run is removed automatically.
Build by rank
Here are the details for this mode. An exposed card can move onto a card exactly one rank higher. A descending same-suit group can move together as one unit. Any legal movable group may enter an empty column. The destination card may belong to another suit in standard Spider.
Prepare another row
Keep these points in mind. Each stock deal adds one card to each of the ten columns. Five stock deals are available at the beginning of a numbered game. Fill every empty column before using the stock. Undo can restore the position before a stock deal while the snapshot is available.
Explore one layout
Here are the details for this mode. The current number remains visible beside the game controls. New game chooses another deal number for the current suit setting. Comparing different openings on one number can help you study your own decisions. Replay resets the current number to its original shuffle.
No promise for every number
The Hint button reports legal options rather than solving the whole game. Some choices can make a position harder even when another line might succeed. Numbered shuffles are not advertised as guaranteed winnable. Winning Deals provides a separate collection with verified legal solutions.
Save your numbered game
The following details apply here. Use Privacy & Cookie Settings to manage or clear local records on this domain. A matching saved game resumes when you revisit its number. My Statistics lists numbered starts and wins separately from ordinary Spider games. With saving enabled, Numbered Deals keeps a current game for each suit setting in this browser.
