How to play Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe

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. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Use the example below to understand a decision.

Same-device two players.

Make the controls familiar

Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Refer to the controls when needed.

Your goal

Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.

Step by step

  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.

Controls

Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.

A useful example

A top-right cell sends the next player to the top-right mini-board. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Check the stated objective.

Watch out for this

A single local win does not finish the overall game. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
