Four in a Row

How to play Four in a Row

Drop green pieces into a seven-column board and connect four before the computer opponent. Plan several turns ahead and connect four green pieces before the computer. The game starts immediately in the browser and is designed for a short break, but the local best-score system gives repeated rounds a clear target.

Click or tap the arrow above a column to drop a green piece into the lowest open position. The computer places a purple piece after your turn.

Rules and scoring

The first player to connect four pieces horizontally, vertically, or diagonally wins. A full board without a four-piece line is a draw. Recorded wins are stored locally on the current browser.

The status panel above the game shows the most useful information for the current mode. Results are saved only when browser storage is available. A saved result belongs to the current browser and device rather than a public account.

Strategy and improvement tips

Control the central columns, create two possible winning moves at once, and always check whether the computer can win on its next turn before making an attacking move.

Short, consistent sessions usually produce better improvement than frantic repeated inputs. Learn how the game responds, look one step ahead, and use the restart button when you want a clean attempt.

Playing on mobile

PlayPick scales the game to fit common phone and tablet screens. Essential touch controls remain outside the advertising area and use large targets. Rotate the device only when a wider view feels more comfortable; the internal game board keeps the same logical dimensions.
