Find your footing in Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe

Choose a round of Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe and settle into its rules. 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. Look at what changes after your first action.

Same-device two players.

A small practice goal

Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Make the next step deliberately.

What counts as success

Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Keep the controls in easy reach.

The order of play

  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.

Using the playing area

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.

See how the rules apply

A top-right cell sends the next player to the top-right mini-board. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Read the matching step again.

A common point of confusion

A single local win does not finish the overall game. Compare the situation with the worked example. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
