Play Spider Solitaire (2 Suits) Online for Free

Spider Solitaire 2 Suits mixes clubs and diamonds into the same 104-card game. Cards of either suit can stack on each other, but only same-suit runs can move together, so every build becomes a choice between making progress now and keeping your columns easy to sort later.

Spider Solitaire 2 Suits Objective

Win by completing eight runs of the same suit, each from King down to Ace. With two suits in play, that means four clubs runs and four diamonds runs. Each finished run clears to a foundation pile on its own.

At setup, 54 cards are dealt into 10 columns, with six cards in each of the first four columns and five in each of the other six. Only the top card in each column is face up. The other 50 cards wait in the stockpile.

Spider Solitaire 2 Suits Rules

The rules of Spider Solitaire don’t change with two suits, but how you can move cards does. Here’s how each move works:

• Stack any card on a card one rank higher. Suit doesn’t matter when placing a card. For example, a 7♣ or a 7♦ can go on an 8♣.
• Move runs only when they’re one suit. A 9♦, 8♦, 7♦ can move onto a 10♣ or 10♦ as a group. A 9♦, 8♣, 7♦ can’t, so you’d have to move those cards one at a time.
• Place any card or same-suit run in an empty column. Empty columns don’t need a King.
• Deal a new row when you’re stuck. Clicking the stockpile adds one face-up card to every column, as long as no column is empty. You get five deals in total.

Same-Suit vs. Mixed-Suit Runs

This is what sets 2 Suits apart. A same-suit run, like 10♦, 9♦, 8♦, can move as a unit and will eventually clear to the foundation. A mixed-suit run, like 10♦, 9♣, 8♦, is legal to build, but it’s stuck in place until you take it apart one card at a time.

Mixed-suit runs aren’t always a mistake. They’re often the only way to uncover a face-down card. The goal is to build them on purpose, keep them short, and have a plan to sort them back out.

Once all eight runs are cleared, you win. If the stockpile is empty and no moves are left, the game ends. Use Restart to replay the same deal, or New Game for a fresh one. Click-to-move is on by default, and you can turn it off in Options > Settings > Game Options.

Tips and Strategies to Win Spider Solitaire 2 Suits

Winning 2 Suits comes down to keeping your clubs and diamonds sorted. These Spider Solitaire strategies will help you build cleaner runs and clear more of the board.

• Choose a same-suit move over a mixed one. If a 6♦ could go on either a 7♣ or a 7♦, pick the 7♦. It keeps the run movable and one step closer to clearing.
• Use mixed-suit builds only when they uncover a card. Placing a diamond on a club is worth it if it flips a face-down card or empties a column. If it doesn’t, wait.
• Keep mixed-suit runs short. Every off-suit card in a run is one more card you’ll have to move by itself later. Two or three cards are easy to sort out. Seven or eight can lock up a column.
• Fix mixed runs whenever you get the chance. When an empty column opens up or a matching card appears, use it to swap an off-suit card for one that matches, before you start anything new.
• Save empty columns for sorting. In 2 Suits, an empty column is your best tool for untangling a mixed run, so avoid filling it with a single card unless that card frees something important or you need to use the stockpile.
