Spider Solitaire: from controls to your first round
Work at your own pace. Complete eight same-suit king-to-ace runs. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. Keep the active rule in mind. Build down by rank. Only descending same-suit groups move together. Empty columns accept any movable group. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
Two decks, one/two/four suits; fill every column before a ten-card stock deal. Free solo play, no wagering.
