However, you can now score a win by placing a mark in the upper left of the top level, one in the center of the middle level and one in the lower right of the bottom level.

The same goes for vertical or horizontal lines. Try playing fast -- it's trickier than it looks. Once you've mastered three levels, try four, five, six, or more levels.

Remember, there must be as many rows across and down in each grid as there are levels played on. For instance, if you play on five levels, each grid must have five rows across and down.
