A practical guide to Peg Solitaire
Try Peg Solitaire at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Leave a single peg on the English cross board. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Check the rule that explains your first action. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
English 33-hole cross; central starting gap; any final single peg wins.
A small practice goal
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Refer to the controls when needed.
The purpose of your moves
Leave a single peg on the English cross board. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
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.
