Use the example below to understand a decision. Begin with the same-device two players mode shown on the page. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Something to practise
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. Use the example to check your reasoning.
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. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
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.
Using the playing area
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Look at the feedback after the action.
An example before you play
Two crosses in the top row threaten a win in the remaining top-row cell. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Read the matching step again.
Where a round can go wrong
You cannot replace a mark that is already on the board. Check the rule before repeating the action. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
