A guide to your next move.
A deal for today
Keep these points in mind. Choose one suit, two suits or four suits using the game controls. A daily deal uses the standard 104-card Spider rules. Daily Challenge on xyuchain.com offers one dated Spider deal for each supported suit count. The displayed challenge date identifies the daily set you are playing.
The challenge clock
This website uses America/New_York to determine its challenge date. Your device's local date can differ from the challenge date near midnight. The date shown beside the controls is the date used for the current deal. A new calendar day in the challenge timezone produces another set of deals.
The same daily start
Keep these points in mind. Different suit settings are separate daily challenges. Loading the same date and suit count reproduces that starting layout. The daily shuffle is not selected from the verified winning-deal collection. The challenge date and selected suit count determine the starting shuffle.
Complete eight runs
The following details apply here. The run counter records your progress toward clearing all 104 cards. Clear eight same-suit sequences from King down to Ace to win. A full face-up sequence is collected automatically at the bottom of a column. A mixed-suit sequence does not count as a completed run.
Move and build
A single exposed card can land on a card exactly one rank higher, regardless of suit. A group moves together only when its cards descend in one suit. An empty column accepts any legal movable group. A King needs an empty column because no higher rank can receive it.
Five more rows
The following details apply here. New stock cards can both create useful moves and interrupt existing sequences. Each stock deal places one face-up card on all ten columns. Every column must be occupied before you can deal from the stock. The daily table begins with fifty cards in the stock.
Saving today's progress
Here are the details for this mode. Saved daily positions belong to this browser profile and domain. 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. With saving enabled, the browser stores your current daily game for each suit setting.
A new challenge is available
An open daily game checks periodically for a changed challenge date while the page is visible. A date change displays a notice without replacing the cards you are playing. Completing an older open game records the date attached to that game. The Today's challenge control loads the current day's deal.
Your local record
A few details help explain this feature. Winning the same dated challenge repeatedly counts as one distinct daily completion. A completed challenge is also recorded by its date and suit count in this browser. The local completion record is not a public leaderboard or an account-based history. My Statistics shows daily starts and wins separately for each suit setting.
Practice at your pace
Keep these points in mind. Hints offer legal moves without guaranteeing a route to victory. Replay starts the same daily layout again. Undo can reverse a successful card move or a stock deal while history is available. Use Winning Deals when you want a starting position with a checked complete solution.
