A number for your shuffle
The following details apply here. Numbered Deals lets you choose a reproducible Spider starting layout on alnucostco.com. Enter a whole deal number between 1 and 4294967295. Select one suit, two suits or four suits before loading the deal. The number and suit setting together identify the starting shuffle.
Use the controls
A few details help explain this feature. An active unfinished game asks for confirmation before loading another selection. Load deal applies the number and suit setting in the controls. Loading a different number can replace progress saved for the same mode and suit setting. The Deal number field accepts positive whole numbers within the displayed range.
Reproduce the layout
A few details help explain this feature. A deal number identifies a starting layout rather than a saved position halfway through play. 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. Move choices after the opening are entirely up to the player.
Share a starting point
Here are the details for this mode. 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. A shared numbered link opens the corresponding starting deal or matching local progress. Sharing a link does not transfer another player's move history or statistics.
Collect eight sequences
Here are the details for this mode. 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. Win by completing eight same-suit King-to-Ace sequences.
Build by rank
Here are the details for this mode. The destination card may belong to another suit in standard Spider. 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 stock requirement
A few details help explain this feature. Five stock deals are available at the beginning of a numbered game. Each stock deal adds one card to each of the ten columns. 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
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. Replay resets the current number to its original shuffle. Comparing different openings on one number can help you study your own decisions.
A reproducible deal is not a proof
A few details help explain this feature. Some choices can make a position harder even when another line might succeed. The Hint button reports legal options rather than solving the whole game. Winning Deals provides a separate collection with verified legal solutions. Numbered shuffles are not advertised as guaranteed winnable.
Save your numbered game
