The Tic-Tac-Toe playbook

Bring your attention to one round of Tic-Tac-Toe. Complete a row, column or diagonal of three marks. If the board fills without a line, the round is a draw. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Begin with the same-device two players mode shown on the page. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.

A focus for your next round

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Keep the objective visible.

The objective of a round

Complete a row, column or diagonal of three marks. If the board fills without a line, the round is a draw. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.

Follow these playing steps

  1. Player 1 places a cross in an empty cell.
  2. Player 2 places a circle in another empty cell.
  3. Take turns, watching both your winning opportunities and the opponent’s threats.
  4. The board stops accepting moves when a player wins or the game is drawn.

Input guidance

Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

An example before you play

Two crosses in the top row threaten a win in the remaining top-row cell. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Consider the next action carefully.

A common point of confusion

You cannot replace a mark that is already on the board. Check the rule before repeating the action. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
