Tic Tac Toe
Get three in a row against a friend or the computer on a simple 3x3 grid.
What Is Tic Tac Toe?
Tic Tac Toe is a two-player strategy game played on a 3x3 grid. Players take turns placing their mark, X or O, and the first to line up three marks in a row, column, or diagonal wins the round.
How to Play
- Choose 2 Players to play locally with a friend, or Vs Computer to play against the built-in opponent
- Tap any empty square to place your mark; X always moves first
- Line up three matching marks in a row, column, or diagonal to win
- Start New Round to play again, or Reset Scores to clear the running tally
Strategy Tips
- Taking the center square early gives you the most possible winning lines
- Watch for two-in-a-row threats from your opponent and block them before completing your own
- Corners are generally stronger opening moves than edge squares
- Against the computer, a perfect opening from the center usually leads to a draw at best

Can two people play on the same device?

How do I win a round?
Get three of your marks in a row, horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, before your opponent does.
Does the game keep score across rounds?
Yes, wins for X, wins for O, and draws are tracked above the board until you press Reset Scores.
