Learn the rules of Spider Solitaire
Before making a move, check the cards in view. Complete eight same-suit king-to-ace runs. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Check the relevant controls before continuing. For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Build down by rank. Only descending same-suit groups move together. Empty columns accept any movable group. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
Two decks, one/two/four suits; fill every column before a ten-card stock deal. Free solo play, no wagering.
Try a more deliberate round
