Input guidance
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
An example before you play
A top-right cell sends the next player to the top-right mini-board. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the controls nearby.
An important reminder
A single local win does not finish the overall game. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
