NOTES FROM THE TABLE

Meet the verified collection

The first collection contains 32 numbered verified deals. Winning Deals on edwinso.com provides one-suit Spider starting positions with checked complete solutions. The verified collection is separate from randomly chosen ordinary games. Each deal uses 104 cards and the standard ten-column Spider layout.

What verification means

Keep these points in mind. Every included deal has a recorded sequence of legal actions that clears all eight runs. A verified solution proves that at least one winning route exists from the starting layout. The checked actions include card moves and any required stock deals. The existence of a winning route does not make every player choice successful.

Choose a verified deal

Keep these points in mind. Load deal opens the selected entry or its matching saved position. The entry number identifies a collection item rather than an ordinary Numbered Deals number. Use the Verified deal selector to choose an entry from the collection. New game advances to the next entry and wraps around after the last entry.

Follow the solution

Keep these points in mind. A solution action can move a card group or deal from the stock. Following the complete verified route from the opening clears the deal. Solution step performs the next action in the verified route. The game explains each solution action in the status message.

When your moves differ

If your position differs, Solution step offers to restart before following the recorded route. Accepting a solution restart clears the current move history for that attempt. You can decline the restart and continue choosing your own moves. The game compares the current position with the corresponding position in the verified route.

Try your own approach

A few details help explain this feature. Replay resets the same verified entry to its opening layout. Undo lets you reverse a recent successful action. The standard controls remain available on a verified deal. Hint suggests a legal move independently of the recorded solution.

The verified game rules

Here are the details for this mode. Any exposed card or valid descending group may enter an empty column. The initial verified collection uses spades only. A movable group must descend by one rank at each step. A completed King-to-Ace run is collected automatically.

Stock and completion

A few details help explain this feature. Every stock deal adds one card to each of ten columns. The verified game starts with fifty stock cards divided into five deals. Standard Spider requires every column to be occupied before dealing. Clearing eight thirteen-card runs accounts for all 104 cards.

A link to the same deal

Opening the link selects that entry in this website's collection. Copy deal link includes the verified entry number. A shared entry link does not copy your current card arrangement or local scores. The fallback link field can be selected manually when clipboard access is unavailable.

Your local results

A completed attempt counts as a win whether you followed the solution or chose the moves yourself. The result display is a personal practice record rather than a competitive ranking. Clearing this domain's game data removes saved verified progress and its statistics. My Statistics records this collection separately from ordinary one-suit Spider.
