Four

Find the one column that keeps the Connect Four win.

What is Four?

A free daily Connect Four endgame: the position already has a forced win. Find the single winning column. A wrong drop is not taken back. Sundays step up to a win in five.

How to play Four

  1. Every position is a real board with a forced win already there. Find the one column that keeps it. Each board has exactly one winning column.
  2. A wrong drop is not refused. The perfect engine plays the game out, so a careless move can cost the win. Sundays step up to a win in five.
  3. A new Four arrives every day at midnight Eastern time. Every past board is in the puzzle archive.
