Peg Solitaire
The cross shaped board sold as a wooden puzzle for centuries. Every move is a peg hopping over a neighbour into an empty hole, and the neighbour is taken off. The centre starts empty; finishing with a single peg in the middle is the classic result. It is a medium game that takes 5-15 minutes, controlled with mouse or tap on a peg, then on the hole to jump into.

How to play
- Pick a peg, then tap an empty hole two squares away in the same row or column.
- The peg you jumped over is removed, so every move thins the board by one.
- Moves only work in straight lines, never diagonally.
- Twenty-one moves will leave exactly one peg.
