Spider Solitaire

I’ve been playing almost on a daily basis for at least 15 years sometimes I take a few months off One win before I go to bed is best. Usually win solvable 2 suite game (20minutes), have won with many 4 suite games but very hard to win and takes me 45-60 minutes. Maybe 10-20% win rate at best with 4suite solvable game. Techniques that win 2 suite game don’t seem to work on 4 suite game for me anyway. I was introduced to the game when my oldest daughter went off to college, she taught me how to play. My father (RIp) used to play solitaire with real cards in bed before sleep, I taught my older sister how to play & she enjoys a game at bedtime. I guess it runs in the family. I’m a retired neurologist and I think the complicated nature of the game that requires significant planning may keep my mind a bit sharper, at least I hope so. However it’s not much fun to lose the four suite game repeatedly. One can expect a boost of endorphins after a win especially 4 suite game, but not after a loss. I don’t ever redo a play when it doesn’t turn out well, it would ruin sense of accomplishment when I do win.

This app is the only game app I have on my phone. Other have come and gone but this one is tried and true as the only one that stands the rest of time for me. I suffer from severe anxiety, which leads to difficulty sleeping due to being able to stop thinking and over analyzing everything. I spent most of my life laying in complete darkness just waiting for morning and just trying to be quiet and not wake anyone else up. Since I’ve had the app for the last few years, I can play on difficult and my brain can ‘turn off’ so I can actually go to sleep. Typically I can finish a game in 15-20 minutes, put my phone down, and drift off to sleep with a feeling of completion.

I have played more than 10,000 games and love this app. It has never crashed, runs smoothly and is fun. I play two-suited, especially enjoy the solvable two-suited option even though it isn't always solvable and tells you that. I enjoy that the game keeps up with my win/loss average as well as shortest solution time, etc. I wish I could pay a reasonable fee to get rid of the ads which are often extremely bright or annoyingly flashing and as mentioned before, placed to where they will be triggered when you are asking for a hint. Thank you.

I have been playing this game for years and it’s always reliable. My only complaint was that you can’t get rid of the ads but they are less intrusive than they used to be. Now I can’t think of any significant complaint about the game. I have deleted most other games off my phone, but this one kills time without sucking me in for too long.

I also find this game to be addictive. I always play the solvable 4 suit games and can usually solve them. Sometimes the game will deal a brand new game even though I haven't solved the current game - not sure if this is a glitch or a bug. Not sure I understand the complaints about ads. I never see any ads, I assume because I don't stay on the internet while playing
