How to play Peg Solitaire
Peg Solitaire gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Leave a single peg on the English cross board. Use the example below to understand a decision. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
English 33-hole cross; central starting gap; any final single peg wins.
Read before acting
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
Leave a single peg on the English cross board. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
Step by step
- 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.
Controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
A useful example
Peg–peg–empty in one line permits one jump. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Consider the next action carefully.
Watch out for this
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.
