Spider Solitaire 2 Suits
Play Spider Solitaire 2 Suits free online with spades and hearts. Build downward from King to Ace, then clear eight complete runs. A card may land on either suit, but a group moves together only when its cards share one suit. That is the extra decision in two-suit Spider.
How to play Spider Solitaire 2 Suits
Use the ten columns to arrange cards from King down to Ace. Move an uncovered card onto one rank higher: a 6 goes on a 7, for example. The destination may be a spade or a heart. A complete King-to-Ace run of one suit moves to the completed area automatically. Clear all eight runs to win.
- Start with the face-up cards. Look for a card one rank lower than another column’s bottom card. Drag the card to choose its destination. With Tap to Move enabled in Settings, selecting a card lets the game choose a legal destination.
- Check the whole group before moving it. Every card below the one you pick up comes with it. They must all descend in the same suit.
- Uncover the cards underneath. When a move leaves a face-down card at the bottom of a column, the game turns it face up.
- Deal another row when you need it. The stock adds one face-up card to each column. There are five rows to deal and no stock recycling.
The starting layout: 104 cards in two suits
The deck contains 52 spades and 52 hearts: four copies of every rank in each suit. The first four columns receive six cards each; the other six receive five. Only the bottom card of each column begins face up. The remaining 50 cards form the stock.
You are building four complete spade runs and four complete heart runs. Each finished run contains 13 cards, from King down to Ace. Aces are low: a King cannot follow an Ace.
Placing a card and moving a group
Suit does not restrict where a legal move lands. It does restrict which cards you can pick up together. To lift several cards, every card from your chosen card to the bottom of that column must be face up, descend by one rank and have the same suit. You can move a shorter matching group from the bottom of a mixed column.
A single card may land on either suit
A group needs one suit throughout
A same-suit group does not have to start with a King or end with an Ace to move. Only a full, same-suit King-to-Ace run is removed from the board.
Using an empty column
An empty column accepts any uncovered card or movable same-suit group. You do not need a King. Use the space to lift a lower group away from a mixed column, then join the cards you have exposed to their own suit. Before filling the space, check whether you will be able to free it again.
In the mixed example above, moving the 6♠ to an empty column exposes the 7♥. If an 8♥ is available elsewhere, move the 7♥ there. The original 8♠ is now uncovered and can move onto a 9. The space helped you separate the suits without breaking the rank rule.
What happens when you deal from the stock?
Select the face-down stock to add ten cards, one to every column. Each new card becomes that column’s bottom card. A row may break a movable group, join a matching run or complete a King-to-Ace sequence.
You may deal with an empty column on this site. The empty column receives a card too. Some Spider games require you to fill every column first, so this rule may differ from a version you have played before.
You can draw even when another move is available. Once all five rows are used, continue with the cards on the table. The stock does not refill, and completed runs stay out of play unless you undo the move that completed them.
Five decisions to check before dealing
There is no single move order that wins every deal. These checks help you compare the options already on the table.
- Look for a move that turns over a hidden card. It gives you another rank to work with, though the destination still needs room for later moves.
- When two destinations fit, compare their suits. Putting a spade group below a spade keeps the combined group movable; putting it below a heart creates a boundary.
- Keep track of the bottom card of each column. Nothing can go below an Ace, and a King can move only to an empty column.
- Shorten mixed groups when a useful space opens. Moving the bottom heart away may let you join the spades above it to another spade run.
- Check each column before drawing ten more cards. A stock deal can bring useful ranks, but it also covers the groups you have just arranged. Use Undo if you want to compare a different choice.
Choose a deal that suits your pace
For two suits, the deal choices are Hard, Expert, Master and Grandmaster, plus Random. Hard is the lowest two-suit level on this site. Easy and Medium are available with one suit. The named levels use deals with a checked winning path; the level describes the starting deal, not how every attempt will turn out.
Random gives you an unfiltered deal, which may not have a solution. Start with Hard if you want a known solvable layout while learning to manage both suits. Undo and Restart let you revisit a decision on the same deal.

What the two-suit results tell us
In our published player sample, 17.6% of 1,566 eligible Random two-suit starts ended in a recorded win. The 95% confidence interval was 15.8–19.5%. These are observed player results, not the percentage of all deals that can be solved. The sample excludes the Verified difficulty tiers, which have a different deal selection.
When were these results measured?
The methodology-v2 sample covers starts from July 15 to August 3, 2026, with outcomes observed through August 5. Players chose their own suit mode and deals. The results do not isolate the effect of difficulty and cannot predict your personal chance of winning.

Questions about Spider Solitaire 2 Suits
What changes from one suit to two suits?
There are still 104 cards and ten columns. One-suit Spider uses only spades, so every descending group is already in the same suit. With spades and hearts together, you must also check the suit before moving a group or completing a run.
Why can I place a heart on a spade but not move them together?
Placing checks rank: the destination must be one rank higher. Picking up a group checks both rank and suit. A heart on a spade is allowed, but you must separate them again before that part of the column can travel as one group.
How many cards are used?
There are 52 spades and 52 hearts, with four copies of each rank in each suit. The first four columns start with six cards each and the other six with five. That puts 54 cards on the table and leaves 50 in the stock.
Can I deal when a column is empty?
Yes, on PlaySolitaire. Select the stock to place one face-up card in each of the ten columns, including empty ones. Some other versions require every column to contain a card first; this game does not.
Do all 13 cards have to match suit to clear a run?
Yes. King, Queen, Jack, 10 through 2, and Ace must form one uninterrupted face-up run, all spades or all hearts. A mixed-suit King-to-Ace sequence stays on the table.
Is every two-suit Spider deal winnable?
Random deals are not filtered for a winning solution. Hard, Expert, Master and Grandmaster use deals with a winning path checked against this game’s rules. A solution exists from the start, but a later choice can still leave you stuck.
Can I play Spider Solitaire 2 suits full screen without downloading anything?
Yes. You can play here without installing an app or making an account. Choose the four-corner control beside the board, or press F with the game active. Your browser may open full screen; if it cannot, focused mode still enlarges the playing area.
Try the two-suit rule in your game
Look for one face-up card that can move onto the next rank up. Check whether the destination shares its suit. After the move, look at the combined group: can you move all of it together, or only the cards below the change of suit?
