Meet Simple Simon
Keep these points in mind. All cards are face up from the beginning. Simple Simon on 110xs.com uses a single 52-card deck with four suits. The goal is four complete same-suit King-to-Ace sequences. There are ten tableau columns and no stock pile.
Read the opening pattern
A few details help explain this feature. All 52 cards are placed in the tableau at the start. The remaining columns contain seven, six, five, four, three, two and one cards. The first three opening columns contain eight cards each. No hidden cards remain to be turned over later.
Find a receiving card
The following details apply here. 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. An exposed card can land on a card exactly one rank higher.
Move matching groups
Being face up does not make every multi-card group movable. A visible card can remain blocked by cards beneath it. A group moves together only when its selected cards descend in the same suit. A shorter same-suit segment at the bottom may offer a legal move.
Manage suit changes
The following details apply here. Open columns can provide space for rearranging suit segments. Planning where each segment can land helps avoid blocking a useful card. 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.
Use an empty column
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.
There is no stock
A few details help explain this feature. Undo and Replay provide ways to investigate a different sequence of decisions. 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.
Four runs finish the game
Here are the details for this mode. A full qualifying run is removed automatically at the bottom of a column. 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. Collecting four runs clears all 52 cards.
Use the controls carefully
The following details apply here. 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.
