An introduction to playing Peg Solitaire

Bring your attention to one round of Peg Solitaire. Leave a single peg on the English cross board. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

English 33-hole cross; central starting gap; any final single peg wins.

Practice with a purpose

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Use the example to check your reasoning.

What counts as success

Leave a single peg on the English cross board. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Start with a deliberate move.

How to proceed

  1. Select a peg and an empty hole two squares away.
  2. Jump horizontally or vertically over one peg, removing it.
  3. Plan so remaining pegs can still interact.
  4. Undo repairs a deadlock.

Input guidance

Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

Learn from a sample situation

Peg–peg–empty in one line permits one jump. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Look for the relevant detail.

Keep this in mind

Diagonal jumps and pulling are not allowed. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
