NOTES FROM THE TABLE

All the cards are visible

Simple Simon on zsfh28.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. The goal is four complete same-suit King-to-Ace sequences.

A wide starting tableau

Here are the details for this mode. 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. The remaining columns contain seven, six, five, four, three, two and one cards.

Build down by rank

Keep these points in mind. A King needs an empty column because no higher rank exists. An exposed card can land on a card exactly one rank higher. An Ace is the lowest rank and cannot receive another card. Single-card placement does not require matching suits.

Move matching groups

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

Separate temporary builds

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

Create room to rearrange

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. A King-led group cannot land on a nonempty column.

There is no stock

Simple Simon has no stock-deal action. 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.

Complete the suits

Keep these points in mind. 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.

Study a visible puzzle

Here are the details for this mode. Replay returns to the same opening arrangement. 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.
