How to play Peg Solitaire
Read the aim of Peg Solitaire, then make your first move. Leave a single peg on the English cross board. Use the example below to understand a decision. Begin with the solo mode shown on the page. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
English 33-hole cross; central starting gap; any final single peg wins.
Build a steady rhythm
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. Make the next step deliberately.
Your goal
Leave a single peg on the English cross board. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Keep the controls in easy reach.
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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
A useful example
Peg–peg–empty in one line permits one jump. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the controls nearby.
Watch out for this
Diagonal jumps and pulling are not allowed. Compare the situation with the worked example. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
