SOS: Pen and Paper

Place S or O to form SOS lines horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Each new line scores a point and grants another turn; play against AI, locally or on a daily board.

Controls

Click or tap to choose S/O and an empty square. S and O select a letter; arrow keys move focused squares; Enter or Space activates buttons. H suggests a move; N opens match setup; Escape opens or closes the menu.

How to play

Open the menu, choose a computer or local opponent, select a board size and Start. Pick S or O and an empty square. Completing a word earns another turn; a scoreless placement passes play to the opponent. Fill the board and compare the final scores.

Modes and local progress

SOS turns two letters into a contest over open squares. Place either S or O: every new straight SOS word scores a point and lets you move again. This edition uses the scoring variant on 5×5 and 7×7 boards. Choose three computer levels or share one device with another player. The daily challenge supplies a five-letter opening on 5×5 against Hard. Hints suggest a move rather than making it; unfinished matches and statistics stay in this browser. This edition has no cloud-save adapter.
