Printable 4x4 and 5x5 Tic Tac Toe Boards

On a 4x4 board, a player needs four marks in a row, column or diagonal; on a 5x5 board, five. The larger grids make the game longer and less predictable, with more room to block and to set traps.

Each sheet holds four, six or nine boards, drawn as a # of three or four lines each way, or as framed grids, and one sheet adds winner boxes under each board.

Four or Five in a Row

The rule stays simple: fill a whole line with your mark before the other player does. On a 4x4 board that line has four squares, on a 5x5 board five, and a single missed block can decide the game.

A Step Up From 3x3

Older children soon master the classic 3x3 game, which always ends in a draw with good play. Bigger boards keep the outcome open for longer and reward planning several moves ahead.

Framed or Hand-Drawn Style

The # style draws only the inner lines, thick and rounded at the ends, like a board drawn by hand. The framed style uses thin lines and closes the board with a thick border, which some players find easier to read on a 5x5.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you win on a 5x5 board?

By placing five of your marks in one row, one column or one of the two long diagonals before your opponent does.

Do these boards come with winner boxes?

One sheet does: the 5x5 sheet with four boards, where every board has an X and an O below it, each with a box to record who won.
