Free Online Tic-Tac-Toe
The classic game of tic-tac-toe, now against the computer. Your child plays as X and the computer plays as O: the first to line up three marks in a row, column or diagonal wins. The starting turn switches sides each round, so there is always a rematch. No timer and no rush.
Three Levels, from Easy to Impossible
On easy the computer moves almost at random, perfect for a first game. On medium it starts to defend and set up its own moves. The impossible level cannot be beaten: it plays perfectly, and holding it to a draw is a real achievement. Telling kids that a draw here counts as a win takes away the fear of losing.
Thinking Before You Play
Tic-tac-toe teaches children to look ahead: block the other player, build two threats at once and picture the next move. These are the first seeds of logic and strategy, inside a short game that anyone understands in seconds.
