An idea for your next attempt

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Notice the feedback after each input.

What you need to achieve

Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.

Start here and follow along

  1. Play inside the required mini-board.
  2. Your selected square sends the opponent to the corresponding mini-board.
  3. A closed required board permits play in any open board.
  4. Win local boards, then a large-board line.

Keyboard and screen controls

Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Use the control method described here for this activity. Check any mode label before starting.

Put the rules into context

A top-right cell sends the next player to the top-right mini-board. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Take a moment to compare.

A mistake to avoid

A single local win does not finish the overall game. Check the rule before repeating the action. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
