Tic Tac Toe · How to play
Nine squares are enough to practice initiative, blocking and forks. Every Tic-Tac-Toe move should check both your own line and the opponent’s next chance.
Controls

Rules & goal
- Players alternate placing their mark in an empty cell.
- Three matching marks along a row, column or diagonal win.
- A full board without a winning line is a draw.
Beginner tips
- Take an immediate win first, then block the opponent’s immediate win.
- Create threats in two directions when possible; a single obvious line is easy to block.
