Losing line in tic-tac-toe NYT Crossword Clue Answer
Let’s find the answers to Losing line in tic-tac-toe NYT for the 20 August 2024 edition of NYT crossword puzzle. Answer Contains 3 letters. Start with O and end with O, and the possible solutions are ORO,OTO,OXO.
The answer is OXO.
The crossword clue "Losing line in tic-tac-toe" with the answer "OXO" refers to a sequence of symbols often found in the game tic-tac-toe. In tic-tac-toe, the goal is to line up three identical symbols—either "X" or "O"—in a row, column, or diagonal.
This combination results in neither player winning, as there is no consecutive line of three identical symbols, making it a losing or non-winning configuration. The clue plays on the fact that while "OXO" forms a line, it doesn't satisfy the winning condition of three identical symbols in a row, thus representing a "losing" line.
