A number for your shuffle
A few details help explain this feature. Select one suit, two suits or four suits before loading the deal. Numbered Deals lets you choose a reproducible Spider starting layout on alnucostco.com. Enter a whole deal number between 1 and 4294967295. The number and suit setting together identify the starting shuffle.
Use the controls
The following details apply here. Load deal applies the number and suit setting in the controls. The Deal number field accepts positive whole numbers within the displayed range. An active unfinished game asks for confirmation before loading another selection. Loading a different number can replace progress saved for the same mode and suit setting.
Number and suits belong together
Keep these points in mind. Changing the suit setting changes the deck used to create the deal. The same deal number and suit setting produce the same opening cards with this game's shuffle algorithm. A deal number identifies a starting layout rather than a saved position halfway through play. Move choices after the opening are entirely up to the player.
Share a starting point
The following details apply here. A shared numbered link opens the corresponding starting deal or matching local progress. Copy deal link includes the selected number and suit setting in the page's link fragment. When automatic copying is unavailable, the game displays a selectable link field. Sharing a link does not transfer another player's move history or statistics.
The numbered objective
A full descending sequence containing different suits stays on the tableau. Numbered Spider uses 104 cards arranged in ten columns with a stock pile. Win by completing eight same-suit King-to-Ace sequences. A qualifying face-up run is removed automatically.
Build by rank
Keep these points in mind. A descending same-suit group can move together as one unit. Any legal movable group may enter an empty column. An exposed card can move onto a card exactly one rank higher. The destination card may belong to another suit in standard Spider.
The stock requirement
Here are the details for this mode. Each stock deal adds one card to each of the ten columns. Five stock deals are available at the beginning of a numbered game. Undo can restore the position before a stock deal while the snapshot is available. Fill every empty column before using the stock.
Explore one layout
The following details apply here. Comparing different openings on one number can help you study your own decisions. New game chooses another deal number for the current suit setting. Replay resets the current number to its original shuffle. The current number remains visible beside the game controls.
A reproducible deal is not a proof
A few details help explain this feature. Winning Deals provides a separate collection with verified legal solutions. Numbered shuffles are not advertised as guaranteed winnable. 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.
Save your numbered game
Here are the details for this mode. A matching saved game resumes when you revisit its number. With saving enabled, Numbered Deals keeps a current game for each suit setting in this browser.
