A deal for today
Here are the details for this mode. A daily deal uses the standard 104-card Spider rules. The displayed challenge date identifies the daily set you are playing. Daily Challenge on zichen-sz.com offers one dated Spider deal for each supported suit count. Choose one suit, two suits or four suits using the game controls.
The challenge clock
Here are the details for this mode. Your device's local date can differ from the challenge date near midnight. A new calendar day in the challenge timezone produces another set of deals. This website uses America/New_York to determine its challenge date. The date shown beside the controls is the date used for the current deal.
The same daily start
The following details apply here. Loading the same date and suit count reproduces that starting layout. The challenge date and selected suit count determine the starting shuffle. The daily shuffle is not selected from the verified winning-deal collection. Different suit settings are separate daily challenges.
Complete eight runs
Here are the details for this mode. The run counter records your progress toward clearing all 104 cards. A mixed-suit sequence does not count as a completed run. Clear eight same-suit sequences from King down to Ace to win. A full face-up sequence is collected automatically at the bottom of a column.
Move and build
Keep these points in mind. An empty column accepts any legal movable group. A group moves together only when its cards descend in one suit. A King needs an empty column because no higher rank can receive it. A single exposed card can land on a card exactly one rank higher, regardless of suit.
Use the stock
New stock cards can both create useful moves and interrupt existing sequences. Every column must be occupied before you can deal from the stock. The daily table begins with fifty cards in the stock. Each stock deal places one face-up card on all ten columns.
Pause and return
A few details help explain this feature. Loading a new day's challenge replaces the saved daily position for that suit setting. With saving enabled, the browser stores your current daily game for each suit setting. Returning to the same challenge can restore that saved position. Saved daily positions belong to this browser profile and domain.
A new challenge is available
Here are the details for this mode. The Today's challenge control loads the current day's deal. An open daily game checks periodically for a changed challenge date while the page is visible. Completing an older open game records the date attached to that game. A date change displays a notice without replacing the cards you are playing.
Your local record
The following details apply here. A completed challenge is also recorded by its date and suit count in this browser. The local completion record is not a public leaderboard or an account-based history. My Statistics shows daily starts and wins separately for each suit setting. Winning the same dated challenge repeatedly counts as one distinct daily completion.
Options for another attempt
Replay starts the same daily layout again. Hints offer legal moves without guaranteeing a route to victory. Undo can reverse a successful card move or a stock deal while history is available. Use Winning Deals when you want a starting position with a checked complete solution.
