The purpose of your moves
Leave a single peg on the English cross board. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
From the start of a round
- Select a peg and an empty hole two squares away.
- Jump horizontally or vertically over one peg, removing it.
- Plan so remaining pegs can still interact.
- Undo repairs a deadlock.
The controls to know
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Use the control method described here for this activity. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
A closer look at one example
Peg–peg–empty in one line permits one jump. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Choose a deliberate next step.
A mistake to avoid
Diagonal jumps and pulling are not allowed. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
