Something to practise
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Make the next step deliberately.
The goal to keep in mind
Complete a row, column or diagonal of three marks. If the board fills without a line, the round is a draw. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
How to proceed
- 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.
Choosing and moving on screen
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. A new-round button replaces the current round.
Follow the example
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. Keep the game’s format in mind.
A mistake to avoid
You cannot replace a mark that is already on the board. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
