Your goal

Leave a single peg on the English cross board. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.

Step by step

  1. Select a peg and an empty hole two squares away.
  2. Jump horizontally or vertically over one peg, removing it.
  3. Plan so remaining pegs can still interact.
  4. Undo repairs a deadlock.

The controls to know

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 one clear input at a time.

Follow the example

Peg–peg–empty in one line permits one jump. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the game’s format in mind.

One detail worth checking

Diagonal jumps and pulling are not allowed. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
