Play Peg Solitaire free online. Jump a peg over a neighbour into the empty hole to remove it, and clear the cross board down to a single peg. Undo included.
Tap a peg to see its jumps, then tap a highlighted hole. The peg leaps over a neighbour, removing it. Clear down to one peg.
Peg Solitaire is a centuries-old board puzzle for one player, played here on the classic English cross: a board of 33 holes filled with 32 pegs and a single empty space in the very centre. The only move is a jump — hop one peg straight over a neighbouring peg into the empty hole just beyond it, and the peg you jumped is removed. Simple to grasp, it has fascinated puzzlers from royal courts to maths departments.
Each jump clears one peg, so the whole game is a race to thin the board without stranding the survivors. The famous goal is to finish with exactly one peg — and for a true 'perfect' solve, to leave that last peg sitting in the centre hole where the gap began. It takes planning: jump greedily and you'll scatter lonely pegs into corners that can never be reached again.
This version runs instantly in any browser on phone, tablet or desktop — no download, no sign-up, completely free. Tap a peg to see its legal jumps highlighted, then tap a target hole to leap. Undo lets you explore branches freely, your move count is tracked, and your board is saved so you can step away and continue. It's a calm, classic brain-teaser that's quick to learn and genuinely hard to perfect.
Tap a peg to select it; the holes it can jump to are highlighted. Tap one to jump that peg over an adjacent peg into the empty hole beyond — the jumped peg is removed. Keep jumping to clear as many pegs as you can.
Clear the board down to a single peg. The classic 'perfect' result is to leave that last peg in the centre hole, exactly where the empty space started. Fewer moves and a centred finish are the marks of a clean solve.
Yes — if no peg can jump and more than one remains, the game is over for that attempt. That's part of the puzzle: it means an earlier move stranded some pegs. Reset, or use Undo to back up and try a different order.
Yes. Undo rewinds your jumps one at a time, which makes it easy to explore a line, see where it leads, and back out to try something else. Reset starts a completely fresh board.
Yes — the board is stored in your browser after every move, so you can close the tab and pick up exactly where you left off on the same device. The Start button reads 'Continue' when a saved game exists.
Completely free, with no install or sign-up, and built mobile-first: tap a peg and tap a highlighted hole, with comfortably sized targets on a board that fits any screen.
