While the term nought is now less commonly used, the name "noughts and crosses" is still preferred over the American name "tic-tac-toe" in these countries. This name derives from the shape of the marks in the game (i.e the X and O) "nought" is an older name for the number zero, while "cross" refers to the X shape. In Commonwealth English (particularly British, South African, Australian and New Zealand English), the game is known as "noughts and crosses".
In American English, the game is known as "tic-tac-toe". It is a solved game, with a forced draw assuming best play from both players. The player who succeeds in placing three of their marks in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row is the winner. Tic-tac-toe ( American English), noughts and crosses ( Commonwealth English), or Xs and Os ( Canadian or Irish English) is a paper-and-pencil game for two players who take turns marking the spaces in a three-by-three grid with X or O.
