How to play Four in a Row
Drop discs into the 7-column, 6-row grid. Discs fall to the lowest free space. The first player to connect four in a row — horizontally, vertically or diagonally — wins. If the grid fills up, it's a draw.
- Controls: tap or click a column (anywhere in it) to drop a disc, or press keys 1–7. Hovering shows where your disc will go.
- Play the computer (five levels — level 5 is very strong) or a friend on the same device. Red always moves first; choose your colour with Play as.
- Undo takes back your last move. Unfinished games are saved automatically.
Tips
The centre column takes part in the most possible fours, so claim it early. Look for moves that create two threats at once — your opponent can only block one. Watch out for squares that, if filled, would let your opponent win directly above them.
