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
- Select a peg and an empty hole two squares away.
- Jump horizontally or vertically over one peg, removing it.
- Plan so remaining pegs can still interact.
- 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.
