How it works

Tic-tac-toe is played by two people on a 3x3 grid: players alternately place an X or an O, and the first to line up three identical symbols (row, column or diagonal) wins the round. This version is played with simple clicks, on the same screen.

What happens in the case of a perfect tie?

If all 9 squares are filled without any line of three identical symbols forming, the game ends in a draw, which is counted separately in the score.

Is there an unbeatable strategy?

When both players play perfectly, tic-tac-toe always ends in a draw. Starting in the center or a corner statistically gives you more opportunities to force an opponent's mistake than playing on an edge.
