Rank games by how easy the rules are to understand or easiest to play.

I'd like to recommend Green Felt to senior citizens (80+) for mental exercise.
To get them started, I'd like to suggest which games to play first, meaning those whose rules are the easiest to understand, or games that are the easiest to play. (Might those be the same?).
Assume the new player is not familiar with computer Solitaire (or maybe not even physical cards Solitaire).
It seems to me:
1. Pyramid is the easiest for getting started. Then maybe
2. Spider (One Suit) then
3. Spider (Two Suit)?
4. Freecell might be easier (because the cards are familiar looking suits)?
Then what?
Maybe I only need a "Top 5" or so just to get them started.
Alternately, maybe Leader Board players want to go crazy and rank those 1-14 games from easiest to hardest?
Thoughts, suggestions…
Thanks.

  • I agree that Pyramid is easiest to start with, but I think Klondike should be #2. Spider and Freecell neither appealed to me. (I'm a couple of weeks shy of 80) I've been playing on this site for over 10 years and I love it.
