Meet the verified collection

Here are the details for this mode. Each deal uses 104 cards and the standard ten-column Spider layout. Winning Deals on alnucostco.com provides one-suit Spider starting positions with checked complete solutions. The first collection contains 32 numbered verified deals. The verified collection is separate from randomly chosen ordinary games.

What verification means

Keep these points in mind. Every included deal has a recorded sequence of legal actions that clears all eight runs. A verified solution proves that at least one winning route exists from the starting layout. The checked actions include card moves and any required stock deals. The existence of a winning route does not make every player choice successful.

Choose a verified deal

The following details apply here. Use the Verified deal selector to choose an entry from the collection. Load deal opens the selected entry or its matching saved position. New game advances to the next entry and wraps around after the last entry. The entry number identifies a collection item rather than an ordinary Numbered Deals number.

Follow the solution

The following details apply here. The game explains each solution action in the status message. A solution action can move a card group or deal from the stock. Solution step performs the next action in the verified route. Following the complete verified route from the opening clears the deal.

When your moves differ

The following details apply here. The game compares the current position with the corresponding position in the verified route. You can decline the restart and continue choosing your own moves. If your position differs, Solution step offers to restart before following the recorded route. Accepting a solution restart clears the current move history for that attempt.

Play without the solution

Here are the details for this mode. Replay resets the same verified entry to its opening layout. Undo lets you reverse a recent successful action. The standard controls remain available on a verified deal. Hint suggests a legal move independently of the recorded solution.

The verified game rules

A few details help explain this feature. A movable group must descend by one rank at each step. Any exposed card or valid descending group may enter an empty column. A completed King-to-Ace run is collected automatically. The initial verified collection uses spades only.

Use all the cards

A few details help explain this feature. Standard Spider requires every column to be occupied before dealing. Every stock deal adds one card to each of ten columns. Clearing eight thirteen-card runs accounts for all 104 cards. The verified game starts with fifty stock cards divided into five deals.

A link to the same deal

Here are the details for this mode. The fallback link field can be selected manually when clipboard access is unavailable. A shared entry link does not copy your current card arrangement or local scores. Copy deal link includes the verified entry number. Opening the link selects that entry in this website's collection.

Your local results

A few details help explain this feature. Clearing this domain's game data removes saved verified progress and its statistics. My Statistics records this collection separately from ordinary one-suit Spider. The result display is a personal practice record rather than a competitive ranking. A completed attempt counts as a win whether you followed the solution or chose the moves yourself.
