Your objective
Leave a single peg on the English cross board. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Take a moment to understand the current position.
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.
Input guidance
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
See how the rules apply
Peg–peg–empty in one line permits one jump. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the game’s format in mind.
An important reminder
Diagonal jumps and pulling are not allowed. Check the rule before repeating the action. 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.
