Welcome to Relaxed Spider

Keep these points in mind. Relaxed Spider on bjlongwei.com permits stock deals while columns are empty. The game still uses 104 cards in ten columns. The objective remains eight complete same-suit King-to-Ace runs. Choose one suit, two suits or four suits using the game controls.

The relaxed difference

Keep these points in mind. The relaxed stock rule does not allow mixed-suit groups to move together. A stock card dealt to an empty column becomes that column's first face-up card. The relaxed stock rule does not change the rank requirement for ordinary moves. An empty column no longer prevents a stock deal in this variant.

Ten columns and a stock

A few details help explain this feature. The opening tableau contains 54 cards. Only the bottom card of each opening column is face up. The stock contains fifty cards for five later deals. The first four columns have six cards each and the remaining six have five.

Move a single card

Keep these points in mind. The two cards do not need to share a suit for a single-card placement. A King needs an empty destination because no rank is higher. An exposed card may land on another exposed card exactly one rank higher. An Ace cannot receive a lower-ranked card.

Follow one suit

The following details apply here. A suit change can leave a smaller movable group at the bottom of a column. A break in rank prevents the entire selected group from moving together. A descending group moves as a unit only when every selected card shares a suit. Same-suit building can reduce the work needed to separate mixed sequences later.

Use empty columns thoughtfully

Here are the details for this mode. A new stock row fills every empty column with one card. Any exposed card or legal same-suit group can occupy an empty column. Empty columns remain useful for separating temporary mixed builds. You may preserve an empty column until you decide to deal from the stock.

Stock deals are still shared

Keep these points in mind. Undo restores the previous arrangement when the stock-deal snapshot is available. A stock deal places one card onto each of the ten columns. You cannot direct an individual stock card to a chosen destination. Dealing can block an existing sequence as well as reveal new combinations.

Collect matching runs

The following details apply here. Changing the number of suits does not change the number of required runs. A complete run contains thirteen face-up cards in one suit from King to Ace. The game removes a complete run automatically at the bottom of a column. Eight collected runs are required to finish Relaxed Spider.

Try another decision

A few details help explain this feature. Replay restores the same shuffle for another attempt. Random relaxed deals are not presented as guaranteed solvable. Hints identify legal options without guaranteeing a win. New game creates a fresh shuffle in the selected suit setting.

Resume locally

Each relaxed suit setting has its own current local game. Relaxed Spider keeps its saved games separate from standard Spider when saving is enabled. My Statistics displays relaxed starts and wins in separate rows. Privacy & Cookie Settings lets you turn saving off or clear local records.
