When playing Spider Solitaire, the aim is to line up your suits just like in any other games of Patience.
So, you will want, say, the King of Clubs to have the Queen of Clubs below it, the Jack of Clubs below the Queen and so on down to the Ace.
They won't stay there. The minute you complete a suit it disappears and appears in the bottom left of the screen in one pile, with the king at the top.
The cards you still have to deal are face down in the bottom right.
You get 6 deals per game over and above the first one where all your cards come out in rows with the final row being face up.
You can put any color or suit of card on top of another, so long as it is numerically one less. ie a 9 can go on a 10, a Jack on a Queen, and ace on a 1.
You are aiming to have all of the same suit in the one column in the right order.
When you have succeeded, all the cards disappear.
You can undo a move at any time by pressing the undo button on the top left hand of the screen, under Game.
It is much easier to use the keyboard short-cut Ctrl + Z . My Ctrl and my Z buttons are shiny with overuse.
You can undo right back to the start of the game if you choose now. This is new feature that came out with Windows Vista. Just press and hold down the ctrl + Z buttons and it will undo the lot if you want. Today:1
