How to Play

1. Choose Your Symbol

Decide if you want to be X's or O's. The first player places their symbol in any of the nine squares.

2. Place Your Mark

Click on an empty square on the grid to place your X or O.

3. Block Your Opponent

Pay attention to where your opponent is placing their marks. If they have two in a row, you must place your mark in the third square to block them.

4. Get Three in a Row to Win

The first player to successfully place three of their marks in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row wins the game!

Pro-Tips from the Woodpecker

Take the Center Square

The single most powerful move in Tic Tac Toe is to take the center square on your first turn. It gives you the most possible ways to create a three-in-a-row (four, to be exact) and is the cornerstone of almost every winning strategy.

The "Fork" Strategy

The best way to guarantee a win is to create a "fork." This is a situation where you have two different ways to get three in a row on your next turn. Your opponent can only block one of them, so you are guaranteed to win. Always look for opportunities to create a fork.
