The Spider Solitaire playbook
Take a moment to read the table. Complete eight same-suit king-to-ace runs. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Look at the complete hand before deciding. Build down by rank. Only descending same-suit groups move together. Empty columns accept any movable group. Use another round to revisit a decision.
Two decks, one/two/four suits; fill every column before a ten-card stock deal. Free solo play, no wagering.

A mixed-suit descending stack cannot move as one group. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
Avoid this misunderstanding
For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
