About Tictactoe

Tic-Tac-Toe is the classic paper-and-pencil game brought straight to your browser. You and your opponent take turns placing Xs and Os on a 3x3 grid, racing to be the first to get three of your marks in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line.

Every match is quick, usually lasting only a few seconds, making it perfect for rapid-fire rounds against a friend. The game is fully solved, meaning that if both players play perfectly, every match will end in a draw, but one slip-up is all it takes to lose.

Controls

  • Mouse / Touch: Click or tap an empty square on the grid to place your X or O.

Tips

  • Control the center: The center square is the most valuable spot on the board because it is part of four different winning lines.
  • Start in a corner: If the center is taken, corners are your next best option as they give you multiple paths to victory.
  • Watch for forks: Try to create a situation where you have two separate winning moves. Your opponent will only be able to block one.
