How to play
- Start a chat, tap the 🎮 button and choose Four in a Row.
- Take turns tapping a column. Your disc drops to the lowest free slot.
- Line up four of your discs across, down or diagonally to win.
- If the board fills up with no four in a row, it’s a draw.
- Tap Rematch to play again. Who goes first switches every game.
Strategy tips
- Play the middle column early. It’s part of the most possible lines.
- Watch diagonals. They’re the easiest threats to miss.
- Build two threats at once so your opponent can only block one.
- Before every move, check whether your opponent can win next turn.
Questions
- Is this the same as Connect 4?
- It’s the same classic idea: four in a row on a 7 by 6 board. ChatStranger isn’t affiliated with the Connect 4 brand.
- Am I playing a computer?
- No. You play the real person you’re chatting with.
