Ways to play
Four corners
Players win by marking the four corner squares, which makes a quick opening round.
Letter X
Mark both diagonals for a win, a good medium-length round.
Clue calling
Read a definition, problem or clue instead of the answer, so students work for every square.
Two lines
Players need two complete lines instead of one, which stretches a round without making it a full blackout.
