3
A row, column or diagonal has three squares.
For simplicity, let's just talk about columns.

During a game, a square can contain a cross, a nought or a blank.
This means there are 3 x 3 x 3 = 27 column possibilities.
But many of these are really the same.
For example, X X O is the same as X O X.
In fact, there are just TEN possibilities -
can you find them all?

Click any of the three squares to change it from blank to nought to cross and to blank again.
