NOTES FROM THE TABLE

Meet Simple Simon

The following details apply here. The goal is four complete same-suit King-to-Ace sequences. Simple Simon on fs-weida.com uses a single 52-card deck with four suits. All cards are face up from the beginning. There are ten tableau columns and no stock pile.

A wide starting tableau

Keep these points in mind. The remaining columns contain seven, six, five, four, three, two and one cards. All 52 cards are placed in the tableau at the start. The first three opening columns contain eight cards each. No hidden cards remain to be turned over later.

Build down by rank

A few details help explain this feature. An exposed card can land on a card exactly one rank higher. Single-card placement does not require matching suits. An Ace is the lowest rank and cannot receive another card. A King needs an empty column because no higher rank exists.

Move matching groups

The following details apply here. A visible card can remain blocked by cards beneath it. A group moves together only when its selected cards descend in the same suit. Being face up does not make every multi-card group movable. A shorter same-suit segment at the bottom may offer a legal move.

Separate temporary builds

Here are the details for this mode. A mixed build must be separated into legal groups before those groups can move. Open columns can provide space for rearranging suit segments. A mixed-suit descending build can serve as a temporary arrangement. Planning where each segment can land helps avoid blocking a useful card.

Create room to rearrange

The following details apply here. A King-led group cannot land on a nonempty column. Spare columns can help you reconnect separated parts of one suit. An empty column accepts any exposed card or legal same-suit group. You do not have to reserve empty columns for Kings.

There is no stock

Here are the details for this mode. All possible future arrangements depend on the cards already in the tableau. A difficult position cannot receive another row of cards. Undo and Replay provide ways to investigate a different sequence of decisions. Simple Simon has no stock-deal action.

Complete the suits

The following details apply here. Each collected run must contain one suit in order from King down to Ace. A full qualifying run is removed automatically at the bottom of a column. Collecting four runs clears all 52 cards. A descending sequence with a suit change does not count as complete.

Use the controls carefully

Here are the details for this mode. New game deals a fresh face-up arrangement. Random Simple Simon games are not claimed to be guaranteed solvable. Hint suggests a currently legal move rather than a complete solution. Replay returns to the same opening arrangement.
