you
so I consider myself something of a
spider solitaire expert and I thought I
would put together a quick video
demonstrating the methods that I use to
beat the game and just so that we know
that I don't have a stage game here I'm
just gonna go in here and restart this
is a four game or a four suit game and I
thought it would be fun just to go we'll
show you from scratch how I do it and
the reason is behind the moves that I
make so with that let me run through the
steps as you're aware you must be within
suit and able to move the cards in such
a way so if I have to laying up like
this and I have a single over here I'm
always going to go and go for the single
now in this case I have a chance to go
and lay over here but I want to check
for the opportunity here with my aces
this is working out well I'm going to
continue on now I want to bring this
over here and move my move this to my
five now I have a vacant area that I can
actually do something with all right so
in this case there's not a lot still
showing itself so I'm just gonna run
down the row and see if anything makes
any sense
nothing there definitely nothing there
you generally don't want to go and tie
up these free spaces with kings or
queens and I'll explain more about that
later on and that would be a terrible
one and that wouldn't be a good option I
unfortunately I've already blocked this
up with the eight nine so I can't bring
it over here on top of the Queen same
holds true here with the five four so
now I have that that's excellent I can
absolutely put this to play bring this
over I'll cover that one there and for
right now that's not a bad roll out if I
wanted to go and see a little bit more
about what I have underneath there I
could do that but that's actually the
worst thing that I can do
so I come back like this now I have that
I'll stand with this and I'll roll over
another set so for the next run-through
here what I ideally want to do is I want
to get this quote this Jack down on this
Queen and pull this ace over to this
deuce the other thing I could do is pull
this six over to this seven this nine
down here and that would bring me the
five four over to this six so there are
several options that are available to me
here but let's play it out a little bit
and see what we have one of the things
that I am going to try right now is go
eight nine seven over here and I have
the deuce right here and I now have
cleared off some of the rows now I can
bring the ace over here and that gives
me a little bit to play with as well one
of the things that they didn't care much
for though is it still didn't give me
this right here the Queen to the jack so
I'm gonna go ahead and give up on that
one because now I can bring the five
four that's not good
well I would have liked that to be a
little more in my favor it didn't come
out and that definitely is not helping
either
maybe it will so as I continue working
through excellent okay so now now we
have something serious because I can
continue rolling down and uncovering and
in this case I can actually bring this
like that now I've got something that I
can actually work with here to include
that I have the three that's uncovered
over here which will allow me to do this
now bring them anytime you have a chance
to go on marry up suits and it won't go
and cause a blockade I highly advise it
same thing goes right here to go and
bring that deuce right there and I
continue on now it's looking pretty good
now what I want to try and do in this
case is I want to get hold of that nine
to ten right here and I'll show you why
so I get all the way up to here now I
have the nine ten right there and if I
had a ten of Hearts I would try to bring
it over here but what I do have and I do
like is I can uncover that one and now I
have a complete run going right there
put these back so that I still have to
to work with anytime you have to empty
spaces you can almost make a complete
suit if you have some cards that come up
for you and that one didn't work so now
I'm gonna check and see what I got
hidden out over here that's not bad
that's pretty good that comes down good
now I can bring up the five six close
that now I can run this down like this
and I can come over here and see what's
under this one not much
definitely not much okay now let's try
to work with this King right here okay
so the King doesn't do anything for me
either I'm gonna take just a second here
where will I want to go next
see if I go and get clear all this off
so they get the Queen there that
wouldn't be a bad thing to do right now
so let's go ahead and marry that one out
that suit has taken care of there and
why not I can actually work with this
right here let's see so I'm gonna go
like this I'm gonna bring this one down
put that over that's good that's good
that's actually very very good I can be
very happy with that and I think I'm
going to go ahead and stay with that for
right now so we rolled another set yeah
that's not a good play I would have
liked something a little bit different
but I'll have you know it is what it is
so I bring this over put the tent on
that now I have some options going there
and I'm just pretty much sacrificing
this column because I need to have the
ability to flow back for this King kind
of hurt me here but not too badly and if
I go like this and I go here I have the
opportunity now to bring this here and
we'll live with that and actually I
think I'm going to leave that one there
too and I'll explain why because I want
this when I can move this one later on
like if I get this column freed up here
I can move this here that'll put the 5
to the 6 and
can actually bring down this night over
here on top of this 10 but if I go and
put this Queen of Spades over here now I
have to go and clear out two columns and
that's not a smart move
so I control Z to get rid of it now I
hit my cards again and now I'm looking
for some opportunities here it is
looking a little bit slim but nothing to
worry about yet so as we go through this
here what do we have this working in our
favor so I can do this and I can come
over here and I can bring this one even
down like this and actually this would
be better over here because this one
will pull into here now things are a
little bit slim on the pickings but not
too bad because I come up there like
that
okay I think we'll roll them again all
right so what did we get this time
through this will actually be a pretty
good one for us because now because I've
been keeping my columns here a little
bit light I'm gonna have this this all I
need is a couple of lucky drawers and
I'm gonna get them so there's this one
there's this one this is why you keep
your when you keep your your empty
columns bare it allows you to do things
like this to be able to move quick
without blocking it all up so in this
case I can do stuff like this where I
clean it up then I go seven over here to
the eight back down now I have the four
over here to the this and now I can
still roll out yep yep oh yeah there you
go so I have two columns working there
in my favor
now one of the things that I want to try
and do though I don't need to have that
and I can actually do something like
this would that be a benefit to me I
don't know let's see well not so much it
is and it isn't
and it's not really the way we're gonna
go with it so I'm gonna look at doing
something more like this because I can
put this over here
put him down there this one right here
pick up that deuce pull this one down
and now remember we have the two columns
and when you have two columns that are
vacant here you can do a lot of stuff
again come over here come over here
nope nothing there now we can go about
that not so much either but I do know
that if I come up like this and get this
one over here that it frees me up to do
this right there so now I have went and
freed up these two columns here and I
also have the option of coming up here
and grabbing this nine and bringing this
down here on this one right here that's
not a bad play and in fact I think I'm
gonna go that
route because of the fact and in this
case here's what I'm doing I'm gonna
borrow from the diamonds over here and
put this one over here roll this down
now I'm gonna run into a little bit of
problem right here I've got the clubs
that are going good for me but as I come
over here like that now I got that stuck
off over and there I need to come up
with the potentially a six so let's see
what we have here clean this up get this
guy over here that's good down diamonds
now I have a six of diamonds right here
man if I had a seven I'd be golden right
here but at this point I don't so the
next thing I want to look at here Oh
remember when I was talking about if I
had a seven I'd be golden well looks
like I got a seven so that worked really
well for me then I can still put this
nine back over here and that works out
pretty good for me come up here come
over here clean these up roll this down
put this up clean it up again you always
want to try and keep it clean if you can
if the opportunity presents itself it
does not hurt you to go and clean up
your rows so that you can have the
ability to shoot move when you want to
now look what I'm gonna be able to do
here because I kept my rows clean I am
now gonna be able to get two finished
decks
and I have one two three empty slots
that's fantastic I'm gonna almost finish
this game right here and I still have a
card row to roll on a brand new game of
solitaire clean up my rows again there's
this one let's go and put him up over
here for right now
and let's clean this one up so I can go
back to having some empty rows here and
if I come down here what am I going to
pick up here that doesn't bother me at
all
now when I'm ideally shooting for here
is the ability to pick up at least two
more in the cleanup column I don't know
that that's going to happen here but
we're gonna give it a shot at least and
we can do it this way that's an option
they're pretty sloppy though I don't
care much for that where's my Jack of
Hearts I don't have a Jack of Hearts
exposed yet I had the Jack of Hearts I'm
gonna go the Queen over here or I had
this right here but let's go ahead and
do this I can put the Jack of Diamonds
there and I can go and do that because I
still want to keep my open card gross
like discards here so I go over here and
now I can do something really sweet
which is to clear some more that didn't
work out at all that's a terrible one so
we're gonna go ahead and undo this
because it benefits me in no way shape
or form and in this regards what I want
to do is I want to leave myself an
option I don't want to go and have a
situation to where I am blocked up so
I'm going to do this and I'll show you
why so it is possible when I click this
row here if I did not prepare myself
ideally what I'm shooting for right now
is I'm looking for a Jack of Hearts so I
can get that now when I click this here
let's say the thing goes wrong and I
don't get the jack where I get two jacks
they're stacked here and everything else
are blocked up and games over yeah this
is a little light but normally it's not
too bad and I think I've planned out my
moves okay we'll try it I got the jack
okay now I need to be able to unload
that five just like I did there and
because I kept my columns cleaned I am
going to get rid and I pick up a new
empty spot that's the way you should be
all that's the way you should always
play spider solitaire okay gonna clean
up my rows there you go cleaning them up
cleaning them up you love to keep clean
rows get this one over here put this one
here so now I can see that if I come
over here I am gonna have the
opportunity to pick up a few more let's
put this right here clean that up and I
can even go so far as to do that so now
I have a straight with ten
down six over three put this here
and we're gonna get a three right there
now I have one two three I can guarantee
you that we're gonna win this game no
questions asked and we'll go like this
already here put the for there ten comes
down now I'm lacking is a King of Spades
and I'll get my third row and the way
that I'm gonna pick that up right now is
I'm gonna go just like that boom done
there's another King comes up put that
there
five to six down six over and now we got
to look at what we can clean up over
here got that 9 to 10 there we go put
this here came to Queen eight two nine
four seven jack two hearts diamonds four
seven six boom that my friend is how you
win it spider solitaire for suits
you
