An idea for your next attempt

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Notice the feedback after each input.

The purpose of your moves

Leave a single peg on the English cross board. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Start with a deliberate move.

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.

Your inputs

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. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.

Work through an example

Peg–peg–empty in one line permits one jump. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the game’s format in mind.

An important reminder

Diagonal jumps and pulling are not allowed. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
