Read before your next round of Peg Solitaire
Use a short break to learn the rhythm 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. Use the example below to understand a decision.
English 33-hole cross; central starting gap; any final single peg wins.
One thing to notice as you play
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Keep the objective visible.
The challenge in front of you
Leave a single peg on the English cross board. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Check the rules when you are unsure.
From the start of a round
- 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.
Choosing and moving on screen
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.
One way to understand the rules
Peg–peg–empty in one line permits one jump. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the controls nearby.
A useful caution
Diagonal jumps and pulling are not allowed. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
