Game Objective

Remove pegs by jumping them over each other, with the aim of leaving only one peg. A legal move jumps one peg over a neighboring peg into an empty hole directly beyond it, and the peg that was jumped over is removed.

Jump pegs over each other to remove all but one.

How to Play

Drag a peg to an empty hole two spaces away in a straight horizontal or vertical line.
The hole in the middle must contain another peg.
Diagonal jumps are not allowed.
These puzzles reward careful deduction more than speed. Start with the most constrained clues, eliminate impossible choices step by step, and avoid guessing unless the puzzle specifically calls for it.

Beginner Tips

Every move removes exactly one peg, so check what jumps will still be possible after the move.
Try to keep pegs close enough that they can continue jumping over each other.
Avoid leaving single pegs isolated on an edge or corner, because they often cannot move again.
