Connect Four AI Tips

Strategies to play smarter and score higher

  • Control the center columns—they offer the most connection possibilities.
  • Build threats on top of each other so your opponent cannot block both.
  • Watch for diagonal lines; they are the easiest to overlook.
  • Never play directly under an opponent's three-in-a-row unless you are forced.
  • Create a seven-shape or similar double threat when possible.
  • Think two moves ahead; Connect Four is less about reaction and more about setup.
