How is this different from noughts and crosses?

It is not a two-player game. It is a logic grid: fill every square with an O or an X so that no three identical symbols sit together and each line stays balanced.

What is the main rule to remember?

Never three in a row of the same symbol, and equal counts of each symbol in every row and column.

Why does one date show more than one puzzle of this type?

Puzzle Page sometimes runs several issues of the same type on a single date. Each carries its own issue number, and each has its own page here.

Tips for Puzzle Page Os and Xs

1
Any pair of identical symbols forces the opposite symbol at both ends.
2
A gap between two identical symbols must take the opposite one.
3
Once a row has all of one symbol placed, the rest of the row is decided.
4
Work rows and columns alternately — a completed row usually settles two or three columns.
5
No three of the same symbol may sit in a row, so any pair with a gap beside it forces the opposite symbol into that gap.
6
Each row and column holds equal numbers of both symbols. Once one symbol reaches its quota in a line, every remaining cell in that line is the other.
