I was museing about tic tac toe. How many different games are possible.
While there are nine squares to start with there are only three unique starts.
Corner, Center and side. There only a total of twelve moves that can be played by the second player. All the rest are duplicates that can seen by turning the board or flipping the board. The third move according to my cyphering is sixty three. Then I saw a shiny object.

That’s why I play sudoku. It’s like tic-tac-toe solitaire.

I found a website that came close to estimate. It said 5479.
958 of these games or moves made after someone has won. So only 4520.
Is there an equation for this? I can’t find
Look a squirrel !
