The object of Rainy Day Spider Solitaire is to clear all of the cards from the Foundation. In order to remove cards from the Foundation, they must be arranged in a sequentially suited manner, from King through Ace. Kings are high, and Aces are low - you cannot play a King on any other card, and an Ace may only be played on a two. In the case of an open slot in the Foundation, *any* card (or set of cards) may be used to fill it.

Regardless of difficulty, each game of Rainy Day Spider Solitaire has 104 regular cards and 6 Bonus cards. In order to win the game, 8 sets of cards must be removed from the Foundation. Play begins by moving existing Foundation cards (if possible), and continues by activating Draw piles, typically when no other moves are available (although they can be activated at any time). The game is won once all 8 sets have been removed.

In order to move a card (or set of cards), the first criteria is finding a legal card to play to. Like most Spider Solitaire games, cards may only be played in sequentially order, from High (King) to Low (Ace). Additionally, sets of cards can only be moved if they are sequentially suited - that is, when they range in order from high to low and are of the same suit. Sequentially suited cards may be played onto cards of a different suit, but only the sequentially suited cards will be able to be moved as a group.

Rainy Day Spider Solitaire - varying degrees of difficulty:
  • Easy - only one suit is used; you will find that many moves are possible, and a very high percentage of games are winnable
  • Normal - two suits are used; you will have to be more careful about mixing suits, as stacks of non-matching suit are difficult to maneuver
  • Hard - four suits are used; even expert Spider players will have difficulty completing games, but it can be done!

Here are some additional pointers designed to help you become a more advanced Rainy Day Spider Solitaire player.

There are times when mixing suits is necessary for success. However, try not to let stacks with mixed suits get too long - they can become very unruly. The Free Column can be a good tool to free yourself if you get stuck.

Unlike other Spider Solitaire games, you are not required to play a King at the top of each Free Column. Any card (or set of cards) can be played on a free column.

If you're faced with two choices, such as moving a card from two different foundation piles, try both to see which will be the most useful. You can always Undo the first move to try the second one. Also, remember to take note of whichever result you don't go with - it could come in handy later on.

NEVER play an Ace at the top of the 11th Free Column! The only time this is acceptable is if you can find a home for it right after you move it or if you are entirely out of other moves - otherwise, you won't be able to play anything else onto that Free Column until you find a new home for it.

The Free Cells are a great place to store cards that are getting in your way, especially Aces or any card that appears on the foundation more than 3 or 4 times.

If you have to choose between two cards to move from the Foundation, it's usually best to choose whichever one gets you closer to the bottom of the Foundation. The more Free Columns available to you, the more freedom you have to move more cards.

Rainy Day Spider Solitaire • Re: Attention POGO and AOL

I used aol as my Internet provider for years but then switched to satellite and thought to myself how on earth did I last almost 6 years on dial up.

Rainy Day Spider Solitaire • Re: Attention POGO and AOL

By Mod_Kyra » May 14th, 2012, 7:24 am

I have years of experience with AOL and am comfortable with using it, however, I would never rely on it for Pogo...or much of any kind of browsing. It has it's uses. I like the mail features, I sometimes flip through the news spreads on home page and in the days of hosted chat rooms, I was on it all the time.

AOL is a bit of a dinosaur when it comes to browsing. It's really only another doorway onto the internet and these days, unless one is stuck (or chooses) dial up, it's not even close to the best. I like Mozilla and Chrome much better. I'm not an IE fan either and the fact that AOL uses it is one more reason for me not to.

As for the "why not now question", it's because it's not supported. You're going to continue to get intermittent success with AOL, with updates and changes happening. Some will work, some will not. That's not going to change.

It can be intimidating for people who are unfamiliar with computers to make changes, but adding a browser is as easy as opening a door. It's free and it doesn't change anything about your computer. I'd encourage you to give one a try, I think you'll be surprised at how well it can work.

First of all, the incompatable issue is happening again. I can play RD Spider on IE but not AOL.

Secondly, AOL usees IE. I know what techs say about aol, but I don't care...I like AOL. I don't want foxfire or Google Chrome...I want aol. I don't want to mess around with my computer and messing it all up adding this or deleting that. POGO has ran on aol well in the past, so why not now.

And...RD Spider is the only game that is not loading on aol.

Rainy Day Spider Solitaire • Re: Rainy Day Spider Problems

Once again Rainbow Spider won't load. Lately I have posted numerous times when I have had a problem with Rainbow Spider. I have cleaned Flash or Java caches and deleted temp files/cookies so much that my computer is cleaner than any other appliance I have...and I'm frustrated. Now someone is talking about add-ons and settings...I haven't changed anything on this computer for at least two years...except download the latest versions for Java and Flash.

I play games to escape from the every day pressures and frustration of daily life. Now, I have more frustration coming from POGO with games not loading. I don't want to sit and try to figure out what is the problem with Rainbow Spider, like I did the last time. I don't want to spend all my time cleaning caches, cookies, and temporary files almost on a daily basis. I just want to click and play. I want to relax and escape...not add to my frustrations. Please POGO, please POGO, fix these problems now...it is stressing me out.

Rainy Day Spider Solitaire • Negative Posts and Complaints about Pogo on the Forums

By pogo_Maul » May 11th, 2012, 6:02 pm

Due to the many current issues affecting members game play the Pogo Forums are receiving a lot of negative and unconstructive feedback. We are aware of the issues largely related to those unhappy with Embedded Game Pages (EGP), whether it be the design/lack of Pop-ups, or Games loading slowly, not able to continue after one game, or simply not loading at all. We are researching those issues and hope to have solutions in the coming weeks.

Because of the many current, common, and overly repeated complaints, and threats of unsubscribing we are simply going to remove or consolidate such posts as they simply are over burdening our Forum’s community in general. I would like to be clear, we are not ignoring these complaints and the issues that are triggering them. We are simply trying to maintain the forums as a relatively peaceful place where members can communicate in a positive and constructive manner.

Our Mods are here trying to help. If they remove a post it is because they are following Pogo’s and EA’s guidelines. If they feel for any reason that a post is negative or may incite negative responses they are well within their given powers to remove such a post.

Rainy Day Spider Solitaire • Pogo is listening! :)

By pogo_Maul » May 10th, 2012, 6:30 pm

We know a lot of our members, Free and Club, have been having various ongoing and continuous issues with using our site for the last several weeks and month. We are working hard to try and narrow down the causes of these wide ranging problems.

The Game Loading and not being able to continue after playing a game are two of the largest issues that we are researching right now. We have been working directly with a few members to try and narrow down the symptoms and possible resolutions.

We have found a few things so far that are preventing players from normal game play, including certain browser add-ons and security settings. In many cases simply resetting the browser to its default settings and disabling add-ons that are not necessary for playing our games will resolve the problem.

We are still gathering information and as we do so, we will try to figure out if there are any adjustments we can make on our end so that these settings and add-ons do not interfere with people’s ability to play on Pogo. In some cases we may need to provide our users with more details on how they can make adjustments on their end so that they can continue playing. More details and information will be provided as they become more solid.

In addition to that, we also continue to look into the issues with Pop-up Game Windows, not being able to purchase Gems, various abuse issues, as well as new and old bugs.

We understand that these last few months with changes to our site, games, and EA Support have been very trying and we are indeed working to improve the experience for our fans. We greatly appreciate your patience.

note: I have locked this post because the issues mentioned are already being discussed by you and our other members in existing topics.

Rainy Day Spider Solitaire • Attention POGO and AOL

By GGspins » May 9th, 2012, 1:36 am


I use AOL for my email, that's it. Every computer expert, repairmen etc I know, all say to never use AOL for browser. I agree. I have IE and Chrome and don't have any problems other than an occasional poker freeze up. I find Chrome is so easy to use for people like me that are not real savvy with computers. Switching to UK flag on pogo sign in instead of USA is working for a lot of players.

Rainy Day Spider Solitaire • rainyday cure that works

By GGspins » May 8th, 2012, 10:53 pm


A POGO embedded cure that's easy and works!

Here is a way to have POGO back the way it used to be. Sign out of POGO-
Now you should be at sign back in area, if not go there. At the top middle area of the sign in page there is a USA/Canada flag. Change the flag from USA to the UK flag and sign in. All your problems will be solved. Try it and see. There is no embedded games there and you will have your old POGO back!

Pass the word to other pogo players if this idea helps you!

I am doing Rainy Day Solitaire as a personal challenge this week. Have to win 15 games. After I hit winning 8 games, no other wins will add to them. I have won a lot of games this week that won't register. I have refreshed, turned off computer completely and nothing helps.

It sounds like your zoom might have gotten changed somehow. Try setting the zoom to 100% in your browser or you can adjust it by holding down the CTRL key while you scroll the mouse wheel until the game fits the window properly.

Rainy Day Spider Solitaire • Undo button

By blotbuster3 » May 6th, 2012, 10:14 am

Does the undo button still exist? It's not showing on my screen. The game is not playable without it. Also, I don't get as many piles of cards as I used to. Is anyone else having these problems?
