- 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. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
Try this example
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. Keep the controls nearby.
A useful caution
A single local win does not finish the overall game. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. 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.
