Play Connect Four Guide

How to play Play Connect Four like a pro

How to Play

Play Connect Four uses a 7x6 vertical grid. Players alternate dropping colored discs into columns. Discs fall to the lowest empty space. The first player to connect four discs horizontally, vertically, or diagonally wins.

The vertical drop rule means you cannot place a disc on top of an empty space. This forces you to build from the bottom up.

Controls

Click or tap the column where you want to drop. Some versions show a preview of the landing cell.

Scoring

Wins and draws are tracked. Higher difficulty levels score more for a win.
