Ultimate Tic Tac Toe

Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe — the most strategic version of tic-tac-toe, right in your browser.

🎮 WHAT IS ULTIMATE TIC-TAC-TOE?
Forget regular tic-tac-toe. Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe (also called Super Tic-Tac-Toe) is a 9×9 grid made of nine 3×3 boards. To win, you must claim three small boards in a row — but here's the twist: the square your opponent picks in a small board determines which board you must play on next. Every move is both an attack and a trap.

HOW TO PLAY
• Win a 3×3 board by getting three in a row (just like regular tic-tac-toe)
• The square you play sends your opponent to the corresponding large board
• Win three large boards in a row to win the game
• If you're sent to an already-won board, you get a free move anywhere

🧠 WHY ULTIMATE TIC-TAC-TOE?
Regular tic-tac-toe is solved — there's always a draw with perfect play. Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe is genuinely hard. The AI uses Minimax with Alpha-Beta pruning, the same technique used in chess engines. On Hard mode, it plans several moves ahead. Beat it if you can.
