Something to practise

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Use the example to check your reasoning.

What you need to achieve

Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Start with a deliberate move.

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.

Controls

Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Use one clear input at a time.

An example to follow

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. Take a moment to compare.

Avoid this misunderstanding

A single local win does not finish the overall game. Check the rule before repeating the action. 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.
