The essentials of playing Peg Solitaire
Make Peg Solitaire your next activity in the game library. Leave a single peg on the English cross board. Look at what changes after your first action. Begin with the solo mode shown on the page. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
English 33-hole cross; central starting gap; any final single peg wins.
Practice beyond the first move
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Notice the feedback after each input.
What counts as success
Leave a single peg on the English cross board. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Keep the controls in easy reach.
Follow these playing steps
- 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.
Getting comfortable with the controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
Put the rules into context
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.
A useful caution
Diagonal jumps and pulling are not allowed. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
