A number for your shuffle

Numbered Deals lets you choose a reproducible Spider starting layout on xzzcgs.com. The number and suit setting together identify the starting shuffle. Enter a whole deal number between 1 and 4294967295. Select one suit, two suits or four suits before loading the deal.

Load a chosen number

Here are the details for this mode. Load deal applies the number and suit setting in the controls. The Deal number field accepts positive whole numbers within the displayed range. Loading a different number can replace progress saved for the same mode and suit setting. An active unfinished game asks for confirmation before loading another selection.

Reproduce the layout

A few details help explain this feature. 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. 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.

Copy the deal link

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.

The numbered objective

Here are the details for this mode. A full descending sequence containing different suits stays on the tableau. A qualifying face-up run is removed automatically. Numbered Spider uses 104 cards arranged in ten columns with a stock pile. Win by completing eight same-suit King-to-Ace sequences.

Keep movable groups together

The following details apply here. The destination card may belong to another suit in standard Spider. 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 stock requirement

The following details apply here. Each stock deal adds one card to each of the ten columns. Fill every empty column before using the stock. Five stock deals are available at the beginning of a numbered game. Undo can restore the position before a stock deal while the snapshot is available.

Replay and new numbers

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. Comparing different openings on one number can help you study your own decisions.

A reproducible deal is not a proof

Some choices can make a position harder even when another line might succeed. The Hint button reports legal options rather than solving the whole game. Winning Deals provides a separate collection with verified legal solutions. Numbered shuffles are not advertised as guaranteed winnable.

Save your numbered game

Keep these points in mind. A matching saved game resumes when you revisit its number. My Statistics lists numbered starts and wins separately from ordinary Spider games.
