Printable peg solitaire puzzles
Print today's four puzzles for free, with an optional separate answer sheet.
Enjoy peg solitaire away from the screen with a pencil, a printed board or a few small counters. The official daily card brings four English-board puzzles together on one sheet. A separate answer sheet lets you try each position before looking at its solution. Everyone receives the same card for the day; there is no date picker or puzzle archive to browse.
The oldest way to play
The first thing ever printed about this game, in 1697, was a board and a few problems on a page. A sheet of paper is still the oldest way to play it, and one of the nicest.
Put a coin in every hole but one, take a pencil, and let the evening go quiet. Print a board to give to someone you would like to challenge, or a sheet of four puzzles to leave on the kitchen table.
How to print today’s puzzle card
Choose A4 or US Letter to match your paper. Leave Include answers checked to include the answer sheet, or clear it to print just the four puzzles. The second sheet repeats each starting board and puts its solution on the lines underneath. The print button opens your browser’s print dialog, where you can select a printer or save the card as a PDF. The paper size in that dialog should match your choice on this page. The website navigation and this article are left out of the printed sheets.
Four stages, from easy to challenge
The card contains Easy, Medium, Advanced and Challenge positions, requiring 3, 5, 8 and 12 jumps respectively. Start with the shorter route and work towards longer sequences. These labels describe stages of practice rather than a precise difficulty score. Each puzzle has its own numbered solution, and the ringed hole marks where the final marble belongs.
How to play peg solitaire on paper
Black circles show the starting marbles; outlined circles are empty holes. On the English board, move horizontally or vertically over one neighbouring marble into an empty hole immediately beyond it, then remove the marble you jumped over. Diagonal moves are not allowed. Use small counters on the diagram, or record changes with a pencil. Finish with one marble at the marked target. In the answers, each start → end pair is one jump; the marble between those coordinates is removed.
Print a blank peg solitaire board
For your own pieces and practice positions, choose the Blank board tab above the preview. English, French, Triangle, Diamond, Wiegleb and Square layouts are available. Each prints as one large, empty board with small coordinates, without a preset position, target or answer sheet. The layout gives the board most of the page for placing your own counters. Use it to practise familiar openings, record a route or experiment with a position of your own. Custom positions may have different possible finishes, so choose your goal before starting.
