About Peg Solitaire

Jump star-jewels over their neighbours to remove them. Leave one jewel at the shrine, planning your jumps so the remaining pieces can still reach one another.

How to play

Goal
Jump jewels over each other until one is left, on the golden shrine.
How it ends
A constellation is solved with one jewel on the shrine; if no jump is left before that, undo or restart.
Record
The fastest first solve of each constellation, with its holder's name.
  1. Select a star-jewel, then choose a glowing empty socket two spaces away.
  2. The jewel must leap one neighbouring jewel horizontally or vertically; that neighbour disappears.
  3. Leave one jewel on the golden shrine. Undo or restart if the remaining jewels become stranded.
