About Tic Tac Toe HTML5
Tic Tac Toe HTML5 is the most famous strategy game. Enjoy this classic game with the 3x3 scheme and two variant 5x5 and 7x7 where you have to place 4 marks instead of 3.
How to play Tic Tac Toe HTML5
Getting started takes about ten seconds. The controls are listed in full in the table below — there are only a handful of them. The game runs in portrait, so on a phone you can play one-handed, and on desktop it stays centred rather than stretched out of shape. Expect the first attempt to be a write-off; that is normal here.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Mouse | Select units and place buildings |
| Left click | Confirm placement |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
Why it is worth playing
