An introduction to playing Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe

Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe. Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. Use the example below to understand a decision. Read the objective before making your first input. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

Same-device two players.

One thing to notice as you play

Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Keep the objective visible.

The goal to keep in mind

Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Start with a deliberate move.

Making your moves

  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.

Making selections and moves

Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Look at the feedback after the action.

Work through an 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. Keep the game’s format in mind.

A useful caution

A single local win does not finish the overall game. Check the rule before repeating the action. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
