Microsoft Solitaire Collection on Windows 10, in Spider mode
Spider Solitaire, also known as Microsoft Spider Solitaire[1] (Spider in the About box in some versions), is a solitaire (NA)/patience (EU) card game that is included in Microsoft Windows.[2] It is a version of Spider. As of 2005[update], it was the most played game on Windows PCs, surpassing the shorter and less challenging Klondike-based Windows Solitaire.[3]
The game was first included as part of Windows 98's Microsoft Plus! package[4] on its release on June 25, 1998 and has been since featured on most subsequent versions of Windows. Spider Solitaire was not included in Windows 2000,[5] but was added to Windows Me[6] and later on Windows XP;[7] the game gained popularity subsequent to its inclusion in the latter.[3] Windows Vista again saw a new version,[8] which was mainly unchanged in Windows 7.[9] Finally, Windows 8 has another updated version available in the Windows Store as part of Microsoft Solitaire Collection but not bundled with the operating system.[10] Windows 10 has the Microsoft Solitaire Collection app updated and bundled with the OS.
