Getting the counters ready…

A small game
of peg solitaire.
Each jump removes one counter, so a finish takes four jumps on Five, eight on Nine and twelve on Thirteen. There is no required final hole.
These are three company-composed starting positions for the traditional rules. Each can finish with one counter, but a legal jump may leave no way to finish.
Click or tap a counter, then a marked hole. You can also use Tab and Enter or Space on the same buttons. Each board keeps its own progress while this page stays open; reloading begins again.
