Your goal

Step by step
- 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.
Controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. A new-round button replaces the current round.
A useful example
Peg–peg–empty in one line permits one jump. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Watch out for this
Diagonal jumps and pulling are not allowed. Check the rule before repeating the action. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
