Spider Solitaire 2 Suits (Medium)
Play Spider Solitaire 2 Suits online for free. This medium-difficulty version uses Spades and Hearts. You may build downward regardless of suit, but only same-suit sequences can be moved together, so planning matters more than in the one-suit game.
- Cards: 104 cards in two decks
- Suits: 2 suits (Spades and Hearts)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Typical game time: Usually 10–25 minutes
Goal of the game
Clear the tableau by creating eight complete same-suit sequences from King down to Ace. Each completed sequence is removed automatically. The game is won when no cards remain.
Game layout
The game starts with 54 cards in ten tableau columns. The first four columns contain six cards each, and the remaining six columns contain five cards each. Only the top card of every column is face up. The other 50 cards form five stock deals of ten cards.
How to play Spider Solitaire 2 Suits
- Build downward by rank, even when the suits are different.
- Move a packed sequence only when all cards in it are consecutive and share the same suit.
- Expose face-down cards by clearing the face-up cards above them.
- Use empty columns to separate mixed sequences and rebuild them by suit.
- Deal ten new cards only when no tableau column is empty.
Strategy tips
- Prefer same-suit moves whenever they do not block access to hidden cards.
- Avoid burying a long same-suit run beneath a card of the other suit.
- Keep at least one column flexible instead of filling every space with a tall mixed stack.
- Before dealing, check whether another move can expose a face-down card or create an empty column.
