How to play Tic-Tac-Toe

Start Tic-Tac-Toe in your browser at PT-BUS. Complete a row, column or diagonal of three marks. If the board fills without a line, the round is a draw. The page pairs the game with a short learning break, an example and answers about this edition.

A short learning break

Choose one objective for this visit: understand the controls, complete a round, or recognise a common mistake. Progress does not need to be rushed.

Your goal

Complete a row, column or diagonal of three marks. If the board fills without a line, the round is a draw.

Step by step

  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.

Controls

Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch.

A useful example

Two crosses in the top row threaten a win in the remaining top-row cell.

Watch out for this

You cannot replace a mark that is already on the board.
