THE PLAYBOOK · ZZOMY
Read before your next round of Peg Solitaire
Start Peg Solitaire by looking at the playing area and its controls. Leave a single peg on the English cross board. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Look at what changes after your first action.
English 33-hole cross; central starting gap; any final single peg wins.
Practice with a purpose
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Make the next step deliberately.
Your goal
Leave a single peg on the English cross board. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Keep the controls in easy reach.
Start here and follow along
- 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.
