Peg Solitaire

Play the classic puzzle of peg solitaire online - this java applet has a number of different puzzles for you to solve.

How to Play

The goal is to remove pegs from the board by jumping over each peg with another peg; this removes the "jumped" peg (similar to Checkers jumps). Only horizontal and vertical jumps are allowed.

Click and drag with the mouse to move a peg.

The game is over when no more jumps are possible. You win the game by removing all the pegs except one from the board. A perfect game would leave one peg in the center position.

There are several different puzzle variations to select, each with a different starting pattern.

Reverse Solitaire

For Reverse Solitaire, the goal is to add pegs to the board, creating the selected peg pattern. Jumping over an empty hole produces a peg in that hole. The game is over when enough pegs have been created to produce the selected pattern.
