Your daily table

Keep these points in mind. Daily Challenge on ftcadvisor.com offers one dated Spider deal for each supported suit count. The displayed challenge date identifies the daily set you are playing. Choose one suit, two suits or four suits using the game controls. A daily deal uses the standard 104-card Spider rules.

When a new day begins

Here are the details for this mode. Your device's local date can differ from the challenge date near midnight. The date shown beside the controls is the date used for the current deal. This website uses America/New_York to determine its challenge date. A new calendar day in the challenge timezone produces another set of deals.

The same daily start

The challenge date and selected suit count determine the starting shuffle. Different suit settings are separate daily challenges. Loading the same date and suit count reproduces that starting layout. The daily shuffle is not selected from the verified winning-deal collection.

The daily objective

Keep these points in mind. The run counter records your progress toward clearing all 104 cards. A full face-up sequence is collected automatically at the bottom of a column. A mixed-suit sequence does not count as a completed run. Clear eight same-suit sequences from King down to Ace to win.

Move and build

Keep these points in mind. An empty column accepts any legal movable group. A single exposed card can land on a card exactly one rank higher, regardless of suit. A King needs an empty column because no higher rank can receive it. A group moves together only when its cards descend in one suit.

Use the stock

Keep these points in mind. New stock cards can both create useful moves and interrupt existing sequences. The daily table begins with fifty cards in the stock. Each stock deal places one face-up card on all ten columns. Every column must be occupied before you can deal from the stock.

Saving today's progress

A few details help explain this feature. Returning to the same challenge can restore that saved position. With saving enabled, the browser stores your current daily game for each suit setting. Loading a new day's challenge replaces the saved daily position for that suit setting. Saved daily positions belong to this browser profile and domain.

Continue across midnight

Keep these points in mind. Completing an older open game records the date attached to that game. A date change displays a notice without replacing the cards you are playing. An open daily game checks periodically for a changed challenge date while the page is visible. The Today's challenge control loads the current day's deal.

Track daily completions

My Statistics shows daily starts and wins separately for each suit setting. The local completion record is not a public leaderboard or an account-based history. A completed challenge is also recorded by its date and suit count in this browser. Winning the same dated challenge repeatedly counts as one distinct daily completion.

Options for another attempt

A few details help explain this feature. Use Winning Deals when you want a starting position with a checked complete solution. Replay starts the same daily layout again. Undo can reverse a successful card move or a stock deal while history is available. Hints offer legal moves without guaranteeing a route to victory.
