Peg Solitaire: learn through an example
Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Peg Solitaire. Leave a single peg on the English cross board. Look at what changes after your first action. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. 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. Make the next step deliberately.
The objective of a round
Leave a single peg on the English cross board. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Notice how the game responds to your input.
Making your moves
- 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. 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. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Read the matching step again.
Notice this detail
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.
