Solution for the Game

The game of Tic-Tac-Toe Puzzle will be won by O. In square 9, the sixth mark was an X.

Explanation:

  • For both X and O, the 7th mark must be placed in square 5, which is the win situation.
  • As a result, the 6th mark must be placed in a line that already has two opponents’ marks.
  • There were two options for the 6th mark: O in square 7 or X in square 9.
  • Given that both players are educated, the 6th mark in square 7 could not be O.
  • Instead, he would have won if he had put O in square 5.
  • As a result, the sixth mark must be an X in square 9.
  • The seventh grade will be an O.
  • As a result, O wins the Tic-Tac-Toe Puzzle.
