Pegboard

Today’s puzzle

How to play

Stretch the band around all four ★ stars and leave every ▲ spike outside. There is no timer or move limit.

  1. Move a numbered handle

    Tap a handle, then an empty peg. Or drag the handle and release on an empty peg. The band pulls tight around the outermost handles.

  2. Leave room around each symbol

    A star gets a ✓ when it fits safely inside. A spike gets a red warning ring if it is inside or too close to the band. Touching the band never counts.

    Fictional finish: four checked stars inside, all spikes clear outside. A star just inside, or a spike just outside, can still be too close—leave a visible gap.

  3. Get all four stars safely inside

    Any four distinct pegs that satisfy the rules win automatically after a move. You can move a handle even if it leaves stars out or brings spikes in; keep adjusting, or use Undo or Restart.

A little more

The band always forms an outward-stretched shape with no inward dents. A handle inside that shape, or in a straight line along an edge, does not bend it. That is allowed.

Keyboard: Tab to a handle, Enter or Space to select, arrow keys to move focus around the grid, then Enter or Space on an empty peg. Escape or Cancel selection cancels. A drop away from the pegs returns the handle. Undo reverses a settled move.
