Take a closer look while playing
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Notice the feedback after each input.
The goal to keep in mind
Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Take a moment to understand the current position.
Step by step
- Play inside the required mini-board.
- Your selected square sends the opponent to the corresponding mini-board.
- A closed required board permits play in any open board.
- Win local boards, then a large-board line.
Making selections and moves
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. A new-round button replaces the current round.
An example before you play
A top-right cell sends the next player to the top-right mini-board. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the controls nearby.
A common point of confusion
A single local win does not finish the overall game. Compare the situation with the worked example. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
