A number for your shuffle
Keep these points in mind. Numbered Deals lets you choose a reproducible Spider starting layout on gmglax.com. Select one suit, two suits or four suits before loading the deal. Enter a whole deal number between 1 and 4294967295. The number and suit setting together identify the starting shuffle.
Load a chosen number
Keep these points in mind. Load deal applies the number and suit setting in the controls. Loading a different number can replace progress saved for the same mode and suit setting. The Deal number field accepts positive whole numbers within the displayed range. An active unfinished game asks for confirmation before loading another selection.
Number and suits belong together
The following details apply here. 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. Move choices after the opening are entirely up to the player. A deal number identifies a starting layout rather than a saved position halfway through play.
Copy the deal link
The following details apply here. 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
A few details help explain this feature. 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. A qualifying face-up run is removed automatically.
Keep movable groups together
A few details help explain this feature. A descending same-suit group can move together as one unit. An exposed card can move onto a card exactly one rank higher. Any legal movable group may enter an empty column. The destination card may belong to another suit in standard Spider.
Prepare another row
A few details help explain this feature. Undo can restore the position before a stock deal while the snapshot is available. Fill every empty column before using the stock. Five stock deals are available at the beginning of a numbered game. Each stock deal adds one card to each of the ten columns.
Explore one layout
Keep these points in mind. Comparing different openings on one number can help you study your own decisions. New game chooses another deal number for the current suit setting. The current number remains visible beside the game controls. Replay resets the current number to its original shuffle.
A reproducible deal is not a proof
Keep these points in mind. Winning Deals provides a separate collection with verified legal solutions. The Hint button reports legal options rather than solving the whole game. Numbered shuffles are not advertised as guaranteed winnable. Some choices can make a position harder even when another line might succeed.
