How to play tic-tac-toe online with a friend
Open JoinPal, choose Tic-tac-toe and a friend as your opponent, then send your friend the invitation link. The game starts as soon as they accept, on the classic 3 × 3 board or the bigger 5 × 5 board. It is free, and there is nothing to install.

The rules in short
X always moves first. Get three of your marks in a row on the 3 × 3 board, or four in a row on the 5 × 5 board, across, down or diagonally. If the board fills up without a line, the round is a draw.
