An idea for your next attempt
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. Make the next step deliberately.

- Your selected square sends the opponent to the corresponding mini-board.
- A closed required board permits play in any open board.
- Win local boards, then a large-board line.
Controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
An example to follow
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.
Check this before moving on
A single local win does not finish the overall game. Check the rule before repeating the action. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
