Play Tower of Hanoi Tips

Strategies to play smarter and score higher

  • Memorize the recursive pattern: move N-1 disks aside, move the largest, then move the N-1 disks on top.
  • For an even number of disks, start by moving the smallest disk to the next peg clockwise.
  • For an odd number of disks, start by moving the smallest disk to the target peg.
  • Always move the smallest disk every other move.
  • Plan the largest disk's final destination before moving it.
  • Use the minimum-move formula to track your efficiency.
