All the cards are visible
The following details apply here. 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. Simple Simon on czjajx.com uses a single 52-card deck with four suits.
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
Here are the details for this mode. A King needs an empty column because no higher rank exists. 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.
Move matching groups
Keep these points in mind. 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. Being face up does not make every multi-card group movable.
Separate temporary builds
A mixed build must be separated into legal groups before those groups can move. A mixed-suit descending build can serve as a temporary arrangement. Open columns can provide space for rearranging suit segments. Planning where each segment can land helps avoid blocking a useful card.
Create room to rearrange
A few details help explain this feature. An empty column accepts any exposed card or legal same-suit group. A King-led group cannot land on a nonempty column. You do not have to reserve empty columns for Kings. Spare columns can help you reconnect separated parts of one suit.
There is no stock
The following details apply here. 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
Each collected run must contain one suit in order from King down to Ace. A descending sequence with a suit change does not count as complete. A full qualifying run is removed automatically at the bottom of a column. Collecting four runs clears all 52 cards.
Study a visible puzzle
The following details apply here. New game deals a fresh face-up arrangement. Replay returns to the same opening arrangement. Random Simple Simon games are not claimed to be guaranteed solvable. Hint suggests a currently legal move rather than a complete solution.
