Know the goal in Tic-Tac-Toe
Make Tic-Tac-Toe your next activity in the game library. Complete a row, column or diagonal of three marks. If the board fills without a line, the round is a draw. Look at what changes after your first action. Begin with the same-device two players mode shown on the page. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Take a closer look while playing
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Keep the objective visible.
The purpose of your moves
Complete a row, column or diagonal of three marks. If the board fills without a line, the round is a draw. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
From the start of a round
- Player 1 places a cross in an empty cell.
- Player 2 places a circle in another empty cell.
- Take turns, watching both your winning opportunities and the opponent’s threats.
- The board stops accepting moves when a player wins or the game is drawn.
Controls
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
A useful example
Two crosses in the top row threaten a win in the remaining top-row cell. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Take a moment to compare.
Check this before moving on
You cannot replace a mark that is already on the board. 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.
