Practice with a purpose

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Use the example to check your reasoning.

The challenge in front of you

Leave a single peg on the English cross board. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

A walkthrough of the rules

  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.

Keyboard and screen controls

Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Read the example below alongside these instructions.

An example before you play

Peg–peg–empty in one line permits one jump. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Check the stated objective.

A mistake to avoid

Diagonal jumps and pulling are not allowed. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
