Spider Solitaire: how a round works
Begin with the objective. Complete eight same-suit king-to-ace runs. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. Take a moment to read the table. Build down by rank. Only descending same-suit groups move together. Empty columns accept any movable group. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
Two decks, one/two/four suits; fill every column before a ten-card stock deal. Free solo play, no wagering.
Build familiarity through play

Keep this in mind
Before making a move, check the cards in view. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
