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. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. A new-round button replaces the current round.
A useful example
Peg–peg–empty in one line permits one jump. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Notice the change in the playing area.
Watch out for this
Diagonal jumps and pulling are not allowed. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
