Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe: rules and examples

Read the aim of Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe, then make your first move. Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Read the objective before making your first input. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.

Same-device two players.

Try a more deliberate round

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Notice the feedback after each input.

The goal to keep in mind

Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

Start here and follow along

  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.

Controls

Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.

A closer look at one 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 game’s format in mind.

Watch out for this

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.
