Using your example above it generates an entirely different set of numbers. moving up from the 9, 0,1,2 the one is already there, 3, 4, 5 and the 9 is already there. So you have going across the top 121, second from top 350 and bottom 459.

A TTT (Tic-Tac-Toe) is a square that I think most of us are familiar with. Simple game of placing Xs and Os into a 3X3 square with the person getting 3 in a row becoming the winner (if they do!)

1 2 3

4 5 6

7 8 9

There are only 8 winners (3 horizonal, 3 vertical and 2 diagonal).

Here on LP a few people have been posting what they call TTT , but it has a LOT more winners than 8! Some will claim a hit if the 3 digits are anywhere in the square. Well, with a possible 9 digits, they are covering 84 possible combos!

Some claim that the numbers must touch to qualify as a hit in the Puzzle. That is what I am currently using. So, in the Puzzle above, 156 qualifies. What I like are the normal TTT 8 combos along with triangles like 153 in the above example. 539 would be another, etc.

There are a lot of ways to construct the square. I'm not going to get into that right now. There are plenty of examples on LP...do a search for TTT . The way I look at my puzzles, is look at the square and see if one of YOUR favorites jumps out at you!

I'm hoping this helps.
