History

Will o' the Wisp is a variation of Spiderette where the cards are dealt in the same fashion as EastHaven. With fewer face down cards to clear, the game becomes slightly easier. Will o the Wisp was invented by Albert Morehead and Geoffrey Mott-Smith in their book The Complete Book of Solitaire & Patience Games in 1949.
