Peg Solitaire

Solo noble · the puzzle of Louis XIV's court, first described in 1697.

How to play

Jump a peg straight over a neighbouring peg into the empty hole just beyond it. The peg you jump over comes off the board. No diagonal jumps. Tap a peg and then a glowing hole, or drag the peg onto the hole.

The aim is to leave a single peg, and the finest finish leaves it in the centre. The English board starts with the centre empty. The European board can't be solved from a centre gap, so it starts with the gap one hole in from the top edge. Use Choose starting gap to set your own. Stuck? Hint searches for a way through to one peg from where you are.
