It also works well if you only have an intermittent network connection because the definitions are stored offline, locally on the device. You can see your word history and revisit definitions, or make your own list of favourite words to help build up your vocabulary. The speech function helps provide the correct pronunciation. Definitions include synonyms and antonyms which allows the dictionary to also serve as a thesaurus. Wildcard characters can be used to help with word games like crosswords and scrabble where only some of the letters are known, or you have to find an anagram, or with spelling. Then you can follow the links in the definition page to get more word definitions. As you type, Dictionary homes in on the word you are looking for. The home page contains a randomly selected word cloud which will pique your curiosity and help you improve your vocabulary, while the search box allows you to find specific words easily. The dictionary definitions are stored locally, and because it's ad-free there's no need for a network connection.

If you like Spades, try our other trick taking game Hearts. This variation is played without the Jokers. The order of the cards in the spades suit now becomes from highest to lowest: 2 of spades, 2 of diamonds, 2 of clubs, 2 of hearts, Ace of spades, King of spades, …, 3 of spades. In the Deuces High variation of Spades, the 2s in the game become the highest spades. We highlight only Deuces High, our personal favourite. Spades has many variations, both in terms of dealing, bidding, trump, gameplay and scoring. For every 10 bags, 100 points will be deduced from your score. Blind Nil is worth 100 points.Įvery trick above your bid will count as a bag. When a Nil bid succeeds, this is worth 100 points, and -100 points in case of failure. When a team wins the amount of trick they bid, they earn 10 points for each trick in the bid, and one point extra for each additional trick. If one or more trumps are played, the highest trump card wins, otherwise the highest card of the suit which was led wins. A player may not lead with a spades until spades have been broken (a spade card has been played to trump another trick).Ī trick is won by the player who played the highest value card. You must follow the suit if you can, otherwise any card can be played. The objective of the game is to win the amount of tricks that was bid. You can also bid Blind Nil (Double Nil) even before you view your cards. In this case, your bid will be scored independently of your partner.

You can bid Nil if you think you will not earn any trick. All players play in a partnership, so bids by each member of the partnership are added together. BiddingĪll players bid the number of tricks they are aiming to take. This is different from most other trick-taking games, in which the trump suit is determined during the bidding phase or by chance. The cards are ranked as follows from highest to lowest: A - K - Q - J - 10 - 9 - 8 - 7 - 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 2. Spades uses a regular French-suited deck of 52 cards. Spades is played with four players in two partnerships of two players each.
