Getting stuck is part of the challenge of solitaire, but sometimes one difficult deal can leave you wondering whether you missed an important move. Play Daily Solitaire now offers a free, standalone Solitaire Solver that shows how a deal can be completed step by step.
The online Solitaire Solver is an independent project rather than a feature built into one of the games. Enter the date of the deal, select the number of suits, and the tool will show you its solution one move at a time. You can follow the full sequence or use it only when you need help getting past a difficult position.
At launch, the solver supports Spiderette Solitaire deals. Support for Klondike and Spider Solitaire is planned, making the project a growing solution library for several popular solitaire variants.
What Is a Solitaire Solver?
A Solitaire Solver is a tool that calculates a sequence of legal moves capable of completing a particular deal. Because the order and location of the cards change from one deal to another, every solution must match the exact game being played.
Instead of offering generic hints, the Play Daily Solitaire solver identifies the deal from its date and the selected number of suits. It can then display the relevant sequence of moves in a clear, visual format.
What Is Spiderette Solitaire?
Spiderette is a fast, compact solitaire game played with a single 52-card deck. It combines ideas from Spider Solitaire with a tableau layout similar to Klondike. Cards are arranged in seven columns, and the goal is to build complete sequences from King down to Ace.
Because Spiderette uses only one deck, games are usually quicker than traditional Spider Solitaire. That does not make them easy, however. A move that looks helpful in the short term can block an essential card later, and choosing the right empty column can decide the entire game.
How to Use the Free Online Solitaire Solver
Using the solver is simple:
- Open the free online Solitaire Solver at Play Daily Solitaire.
- Enter the date of the Spiderette deal you want to solve.
- Select the number of suits used in the deal.
- Choose See Solution.
- Follow the moves step by step.
There is no download required. The standalone Solitaire Solver works directly in your browser, independently from the game itself.
More Than an Answer: A Way to Improve Your Strategy
A solitaire solver is useful when you are stuck, but it can also help you become a stronger player. By studying a successful sequence, you can see why revealing a face-down card may be more valuable than making an obvious build, when an empty tableau column should be preserved, and which moves need to happen before dealing additional cards.
You can also compare the solver’s approach with your own. Play as far as you can, consult the next move only when needed, and then continue independently. This turns the solution into a practical Spiderette strategy guide rather than simply an answer.
More Daily Solitaire Solutions Are Coming
Spiderette deals are the first supported by this independent Solitaire Solver project, but they will not be the last. Support is also planned for deals from two more games:
- Daily Solitaire Challenge, a daily version of classic Klondike Solitaire.
- Daily Spider Solitaire, featuring the deeper tableau and multi-deck challenge of Spider.
Together, these additions will make the Play Daily Solitaire solver a useful destination for players searching for help with several of the most popular daily solitaire variants.
