About Tic Tac Toe
Tic Tac Toe is the timeless game of X's and O's, played on a bright 3×3 grid. Take turns placing your mark and be the first to get three in a row horizontally, vertically or diagonally. When someone wins, the winning line lights up in yellow, and a full board with no line ends in a draw.
There are two ways to play. In 1 Player mode you are X and the computer answers with an O a moment after each of your moves, choosing a random free square, so it is a relaxed opponent that is great for kids and beginners. Flip the switch to 2 Players and you and a friend take turns on the same phone, tablet or computer.
Every round lasts less than a minute, which makes it perfect for a quick break or a friendly rematch.
How to play
Players take turns placing X and O on the 3×3 grid, and X always goes first. The first player to get three marks in a row, column or diagonal wins. If all nine squares are filled with no line, the game is a draw; press New game to play again.

Tips
- Take the center square on your first move: it is part of four possible lines.
- Corners are the next best squares, since each one belongs to three lines.
- Try to create two threats at once so your opponent can only block one of them.
- Always check whether your opponent has two in a row before making your own move.
