A deal for today

Here are the details for this mode. A daily deal uses the standard 104-card Spider rules. Choose one suit, two suits or four suits using the game controls. The displayed challenge date identifies the daily set you are playing. Daily Challenge on zuoguidna.com offers one dated Spider deal for each supported suit count.

When a new day begins

This website uses America/New_York to determine its challenge date. The date shown beside the controls is the date used for the current deal. Your device's local date can differ from the challenge date near midnight. A new calendar day in the challenge timezone produces another set of deals.

Return to a familiar layout

Loading the same date and suit count reproduces that starting layout. The challenge date and selected suit count determine the starting shuffle. Different suit settings are separate daily challenges. The daily shuffle is not selected from the verified winning-deal collection.

The daily objective

Here are the details for this mode. A mixed-suit sequence does not count as a completed run. A full face-up sequence is collected automatically at the bottom of a column. The run counter records your progress toward clearing all 104 cards. Clear eight same-suit sequences from King down to Ace to win.

Standard Spider movement

A few details help explain this feature. A single exposed card can land on a card exactly one rank higher, regardless of suit. A King needs an empty column because no higher rank can receive it. A group moves together only when its cards descend in one suit. An empty column accepts any legal movable group.

Use the stock

A few details help explain this feature. Every column must be occupied before you can deal from the stock. Each stock deal places one face-up card on all ten columns. The daily table begins with fifty cards in the stock. New stock cards can both create useful moves and interrupt existing sequences.

Pause and return

Returning to the same challenge can restore that saved position. Loading a new day's challenge replaces the saved daily position for that suit setting. Saved daily positions belong to this browser profile and domain. With saving enabled, the browser stores your current daily game for each suit setting.

Continue across midnight

The following details apply here. A date change displays a notice without replacing the cards you are playing. An open daily game checks periodically for a changed challenge date while the page is visible. The Today's challenge control loads the current day's deal. Completing an older open game records the date attached to that game.

Your local record

The following details apply here. A completed challenge is also recorded by its date and suit count in this browser. My Statistics shows daily starts and wins separately for each suit setting. Winning the same dated challenge repeatedly counts as one distinct daily completion. The local completion record is not a public leaderboard or an account-based history.

Practice at your pace

The following details apply here. Use Winning Deals when you want a starting position with a checked complete solution. Undo can reverse a successful card move or a stock deal while history is available. Hints offer legal moves without guaranteeing a route to victory. Replay starts the same daily layout again.
