Is it possible to win Impossible Tic Tac Toe?

Technically, you cannot win Impossible Tic Tac Toe. This is because the whole point of the game is that it is impossible to beat. The best you can hope for while playing Impossible Tic Tac Toe is to get a draw. If you get a draw, this means that you got an equal score with the AI and no one won. To technically win at Impossible Tic Tac Toe, you need to be sure that the AI doesn't score.

How do you beat Impossible Tic Tac Toe?

There is no way to beat Impossible Tic Tac Toe since it is made where you cannot win. Getting the AI to tie is the only way to do better than losing. To do this, you'll need to:

  • Put an X in one corner of the grid.
  • Place an X in another corner of the grid.
  • Block the AI's next O with another X.
  • Do this until you draw.

Basically, your strategy is to block two corners, then counter any attempts for the AI to make three O's. If you do this correctly, you'll get a draw every time you play. Sadly, this is the best you can hope for in Impossible Tic Tac Toe.
