How to play Peg Solitaire

The board starts full except for one empty hole.

Jump a peg over an adjacent peg into an empty hole; the middle peg is removed.

Keep jumping until no moves remain. The goal is to finish with one peg.

Tips for a better run

  • Work from the edges inward; the corners have fewer possible jumps.
  • Leave the centre open as long as you can — it connects the most routes.
  • Undo freely: one bad jump can strand the last few pegs.

Controls
