Frequently asked questions
Can two people play Four in a Row on one phone?
Yes. Choose 👥 two players and pass the phone back and forth. Each player taps a column on their turn. The top of the screen shows whose turn it is and the score.
How smart is the computer on the hard level?
On the hard level the computer looks at thousands of possible continuations several moves ahead, never misses an immediate win and always blocks three in a row. You can beat it, but you need to plan. On the easy level it plays almost randomly and only takes a win or blocks when it is right in front of it.
Does the player who starts win?
When nobody makes any mistake, the starting player has an advantage. That is why the starter swaps in every new game here, to keep it fair.
How is this different from other Four in a Row games on the site?
