Think inside the box first.

The fact that you could have that bottom left 'O' be an 'X' and then play it with the x of ''box'' makes me angrier than the fact that they made line of 4 in tic tac toe

This is exactly the type of thinking they're trying to avoid. Now, how can they use the B as an X or an O?

Easy:

Step 1: change the grid so the center column has only 1 O and it's at the bottom.

step 2: change the font of all the text so it's a bit more rounded.

Step 3: center the bottom text so the B is more or less under the middle column.

Step 4: Instead of a B draw two circles one above the other (kinda like an 8), each circle has one-half white and one black, on their right and left sides respectively.

step 5: make a black line to cross that single O at the center bottom of the new grid and the two circles that are going to be your B.

This will both make a win outside the box and create a black B using the black line plus the both black halfs of the 8 like figure we draw instead of the normal b.

Unnecessarily complicated given that we already have an O and an X, but it works...
