About tic tac toe games

Tic tac toe, also called noughts and crosses, is played on a three-by-three grid. One player is X and the other O, and they take turns marking an empty square. The first to get three marks in a row, across, down or diagonally, wins, and a full grid with no row is a draw.

The games here dress the grid up as notebook paper, a classroom chalkboard, Las Vegas neon signs and planets in space, and some go further, with 5 by 5 and 7 by 7 grids, matches of several games, online play and modes for up to four players.

Questions about tic tac toe games

How do you win at tic tac toe?

Get three of your marks in a row before your opponent does. Taking the center or a corner first gives you the most ways to make a row, and always block a row of two.

Can you always win at tic tac toe?

No. When neither player makes a mistake, every game ends in a draw, so you win only when your opponent slips.
