Peg-E generates solitaire puzzles with different levels of difficulty. You can jump horizontally, vertically and diagonally. The app saves your progress and supports undoing and running again.

This allows you to investigate a series of moves without starting over and over again.

Each jump removes a pawn, but also changes which follow-up steps are possible. Therefore, look not only at a directly available move. An early choice can make part of the board unreachable later.

Work systematically in a difficult setup and try to identify which pawns should remain connected. The limited rules of the game make it accessible, while the sequence of moves creates the challenge.

Our verdict

Peg-E fits if you'd rather think ahead quietly than respond on time. Taking back moves helps to understand why a route is jammed. Use that to learn patterns, not just to try randomly. The random signs provide variation within the same clear rules.
