How to Play
The board is a 3×3 grid. You play as ✕ and always go first; the AI plays as ○. Each turn, tap or click any empty cell to place your mark. The goal is to form a line of three ✕ in a row — horizontal, vertical or diagonal — before the AI forms its line of three ○. If all 9 cells are filled with no winner, the game ends in a draw. There are three difficulty levels: Easy (the AI plays randomly, leaving many gaps), Medium (the AI mixes 40% random moves with 60% optimal moves — dangerous but exploitable) and Hard (the AI uses full Minimax and is mathematically unbeatable — the best possible result is a draw).
Tips & Strategy
- 1The center (cell 5) is the most powerful position — whoever takes it controls 4 of the 8 possible lines.
- 2Corners are the second-best positions. Occupying two opposite corners creates a fork trap.
- 3If the AI takes the center, play a corner — this limits its forking options.
- 4Create double threats (two pairs of ✕ at the same time): the AI can only block one, and you win with the other.
- 5On Hard mode, accept a draw as a win — defeating a perfect Minimax is beyond possible.
