I apologize if this page is slow to load, but the photos need to be big enough to read the cards.

This is the simplest of the advanced Spider Solitaire techniques. It involve "parking" unwanted cards on piles you aren't using, so you can get to the cards you need.

In the first photo, you have the king and queen of hearts and spades mixed up. The first problem is all the unwanted, unsuited cards under the queen of hearts. The second problem is that you only have one hole to work with.

The solution is to "park" all those unwanted cards on other piles.

• Put the 5 of diamonds in the hole.
• Put the 8 of hearts on the 9 of diamonds.
• Put the 5 of diamonds on the 6 of hearts.
• Put the 10 of hearts in the hole.
• Put the jack of diamonds on the queen of spades.
• Put the 10 of hearts on the jack of diamonds.

Now your unwanted cards are all parked, so you can swap the kings and queens.
