Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe: what to know before playing

Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. Use the example below to understand a decision. Begin with the local players mode shown on the page. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

Same-device two players.

Give this approach a try

Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Make the next step deliberately.

Your goal

Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Keep the controls in easy reach.

How a round unfolds

  1. Play inside the required mini-board.
  2. Your selected square sends the opponent to the corresponding mini-board.
  3. A closed required board permits play in any open board.
  4. Win local boards, then a large-board line.

The controls to know

Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Use the control method described here for this activity. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

Try this example

A top-right cell sends the next player to the top-right mini-board. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Consider the next action carefully.

Keep this in mind

A single local win does not finish the overall game. Check the rule before repeating the action. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
