Give this approach a try

Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Notice the feedback after each input.

The challenge in front of you

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.

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.

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. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

An example to follow

A top-right cell sends the next player to the top-right mini-board. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the game’s format in mind.

Avoid this misunderstanding

A single local win does not finish the overall game. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
