What is the difference between solitaire and spider solitaire?

Answer 1

for spider solitaire (it depends on the level), you are trying to get cards from King to Ace of the same suit. once you put them together, they make piles at the bottom of the screen and you have to make 8 of those to win.

for normal solitaire, you are trying to get the suits to (somewhat intertwin) or go opposite like red, black, red, black and also drag them up to their own suits.

SS - you just put them in their proper pile anywhere

NS - you are intertwining them as well as dragging them up into their proper suits.

Answer 2

these two games are VASTLY different. in regular solitaire your goal is to turn all the face down cards face up. in spider solitaire, you’re still trying to turn all the cards face up. however, you need to make a column from ace to king. and then you can remove that column from the game and keep playing. also, in spider solitaire you can place black cards on top of black cards and red cards on top of red cards.
