Something to practise
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Make the next step deliberately.
What you need to achieve
Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
From the start of a round
- Play inside the required mini-board.
- Your selected square sends the opponent to the corresponding mini-board.
- A closed required board permits play in any open board.
- Win local boards, then a large-board line.
Making selections and moves
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.
Learn from a sample situation
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. Read the matching step again.
One detail worth checking
A single local win does not finish the overall game. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
