Play Towers of Hanoi Online
Towers of Hanoi is a towers of Hanoi game online with short, carefully graded starting positions. Move every wooden disk to the right-hand peg, one top disk at a time.

- Move all disks to the right-hand target peg to complete the challenge.
Controls
Tap a source peg and a destination, drag between pegs, or use the Left, Middle and Right buttons. Tap the selected peg again to clear the selection. Undo reverses a move. Hint makes one shortest-route move while hints remain.
A tip before you start
Keep the smallest disks available to move out of the way. Before moving a large disk, think about where the smaller stack will go next.
A tower of Hanoi puzzle online, two moves at a time
The twenty starting layouts have exact shortest distances of two, four, six and onward to forty moves. A complete search of the legal states verifies those distances. The number of disks grows from three to six, and hints decrease from twenty to one.
Distributed starting positions
These challenges use standard three-peg move rules, with the disks already spread across the pegs. They are not twenty repetitions of a full tower on the left. The display shows the shortest moves remaining from your current legal position, and there is no move limit or timer.

What do the numbers on the disks mean?
