A number for your shuffle

Here are the details for this mode. Enter a whole deal number between 1 and 4294967295. Select one suit, two suits or four suits before loading the deal. Numbered Deals lets you choose a reproducible Spider starting layout on helibxg.com. The number and suit setting together identify the starting shuffle.

Use the controls

Keep these points in mind. Loading a different number can replace progress saved for the same mode and suit setting. 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.

Reproduce the layout

Keep these points in mind. 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. 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.

Share a starting point

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. Copy deal link includes the selected number and suit setting in the page's link fragment. A shared numbered link opens the corresponding starting deal or matching local progress.

Collect eight sequences

The following details apply here. A qualifying face-up run is removed automatically. Numbered Spider uses 104 cards arranged in ten columns with a stock pile. Win by completing eight same-suit King-to-Ace sequences. A full descending sequence containing different suits stays on the tableau.

Keep movable groups together

A few details help explain this feature. Any legal movable group may enter an empty column. A descending same-suit group can move together as one unit. 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

Five stock deals are available at the beginning of a numbered game. Each stock deal adds one card to each of the ten columns. Fill every empty column before using the stock. Undo can restore the position before a stock deal while the snapshot is available.

Replay and new numbers

The following details apply here. Comparing different openings on one number can help you study your own decisions. Replay resets the current number to its original shuffle. The current number remains visible beside the game controls. New game chooses another deal number for the current suit setting.

A reproducible deal is not a proof

A few details help explain this feature. Numbered shuffles are not advertised as guaranteed winnable. Winning Deals provides a separate collection with verified legal solutions. 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.
