A guide to your next move.
Your daily table
The following details apply here. Choose one suit, two suits or four suits using the game controls. Daily Challenge on rbtapai.com offers one dated Spider deal for each supported suit count. The displayed challenge date identifies the daily set you are playing. A daily deal uses the standard 104-card Spider rules.
The challenge clock
Your device's local date can differ from the challenge date near midnight. The date shown beside the controls is the date used for the current deal. This website uses America/New_York to determine its challenge date. A new calendar day in the challenge timezone produces another set of deals.
The same daily start
Different suit settings are separate daily challenges. 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.
The daily objective
A few details help explain this feature. 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. A mixed-suit sequence does not count as a completed run. The run counter records your progress toward clearing all 104 cards.
Standard Spider movement
The following details apply here. A group moves together only when its cards descend in one suit. An empty column accepts any legal movable group. A single exposed card can land on a card exactly one rank higher, regardless of suit. A King needs an empty column because no higher rank can receive it.
Use the stock
A few details help explain this feature. Every column must be occupied before you can deal from the stock. Each stock deal places one face-up card on all ten columns. The daily table begins with fifty cards in the stock. New stock cards can both create useful moves and interrupt existing sequences.
Saving today's progress
Here are the details for this mode. Returning to the same challenge can restore that saved position. Loading a new day's challenge replaces the saved daily position for that suit setting. Saved daily positions belong to this browser profile and domain. With saving enabled, the browser stores your current daily game for each suit setting.
Continue across midnight
The following details apply here. A date change displays a notice without replacing the cards you are playing. 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.
Your local record
A few details help explain this feature. A completed challenge is also recorded by its date and suit count in this browser. My Statistics shows daily starts and wins separately for each suit setting. The local completion record is not a public leaderboard or an account-based history. Winning the same dated challenge repeatedly counts as one distinct daily completion.
Options for another attempt
Here are the details for this mode. Use Winning Deals when you want a starting position with a checked complete solution. 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.
