Twelve men's morris problems

24 positions in three difficulties. A tick marks the ones you have solved in this browser.

Twelve men each and diagonal lines: a board that can fill to the last point.

Easy · #501–508

An easy one: the mill comes on your second turn, so look for a move that makes two threats or forces a reply you can use.

Medium · #509–516

A medium problem: three turns, and the opponent may close a mill of his own along the way. Check what each of his replies does before you commit.

Hard · #517–524

A hard problem: not a mill but the whole game, usually by leaving the opponent with two men or without a move.
