Players alternate turns placing their X or O in empty squares on the grid. The first to get three in a row wins. If all squares fill without a winner, the game is a draw.
Who goes first?
The player who uses "X" usually goes first.
Can the game end in a draw?
Yes, if all nine squares are filled without a player achieving three in a row, the game ends in a draw.
Is there a winning strategy?
Yes. Tic Tac Toe is a solved game—if both players play optimally, the game will always end in a draw.
