Jump a peg over a neighbouring peg into an empty hole and remove the peg you jumped. Try to finish with a single peg.

Select a peg, then a highlighted empty hole two squares away in a straight line. The peg in between is removed. Finish with one peg. Undo is always available. Easy and Standard are smaller solvable puzzles; Hard is the classic board with 32 pegs, and ending in the centre earns a bonus.

How to play
  1. Tap a peg that can jump. Highlighted holes show where.
  2. Jump over a neighbouring peg. The jumped peg is removed.
  3. Leave only one peg. Use Undo if you get stuck.
Tips and tricks

A few ideas that make Peg Solitaire easier and more fun:

  • Pegs on the edge are hard to remove, so use them early.
  • Keep pegs together in small groups instead of leaving loners.
  • Think of the last jump first: where should the final peg end up?
