Spider Solitaire

[Boomer.....]

Spider solitaire on difficult setting has got to be one of the hardest games in the world. Argh! :mad:

[jk the sooner fan]

yes it is, and i'm addicted to it!

[Hatfield]

is difficult with 4 decks? i usually do medium with 2

might need to step it up

[Boomer.....]

Yes. I can beat the medium about a quarter of the time. I have never beat it on difficult level.

[jk the sooner fan]

i've beat it quite a few times on difficult level, but the wins are few and far between....there's a certain strategy you have to employ but its mostly luck

I actually took a screenshot once when I beat it on difficult with 4 decks. :O

Is the key to get out as many cards under the existing cards as possible before dealing?

yes, move as many as possible, even if you arent matching suits

the key is getting an empty space to move cards around

crap people.

I win about 40% on difficult and about 80% on medium.

I win about 40% on difficult and about 80% on medium.
That said.....on difficult I won about the third time I played and then lost about a hundred in a row before I did it again.

Now I have a routine that helps. You need to be willing to back up and try different paths before committing sometimes.

He meant Control Z

It lest you "undo" moves up to the point where you dealt another row.

[jk the sooner fan]

oh i use the undo feature often, but i use the mouse to do it

[sanantoniosooner]

I'm on a skid right now and sitting at 27% on difficult. 19-49 with no more than one in a row win and no more than two in a row loss.

I can usually hit a streak that helps the average, but haven't done it lately. I usually start the stats over after I play around 100 games.

since I use my laptop the mouse thing is less convenient.
