All the cards are visible

The following details apply here. All cards are face up from the beginning. The goal is four complete same-suit King-to-Ace sequences. Simple Simon on ycjf668.com uses a single 52-card deck with four suits. There are ten tableau columns and no stock pile.

A wide starting tableau

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

Find a receiving card

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

Keep a descending suit sequence

Here are the details for this mode. 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 few details help explain this feature. A mixed-suit descending build can serve as a temporary arrangement. Open columns can provide space for rearranging suit segments. 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.

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. Spare columns can help you reconnect separated parts of one suit. You do not have to reserve empty columns for Kings.

Work with the visible cards

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

Four runs finish the game

A few details help explain this feature. 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

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. New game deals a fresh face-up arrangement.
