A useful comparison
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
Leave a single peg on the English cross board. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
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. Check any mode label before starting.
A useful example
Peg–peg–empty in one line permits one jump. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the controls nearby.
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. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
