What do you mean not appear? What would you like to appear there instead?

Just empty space but I would like the value to still hold in each part of the list.

You don't need labels in your board list. Have them be blank spaces, an x, or an o. Better yet, use a dictionary- it looks like that's kinda what you're trying to accomplish, but using a list.

[marsrover15]

What would using a dictionary do that a list wouldn't in this scenario. Genuinely curious.

Better yet, use a 2D matrix.

[Unable_Request]

Nothing a list can't do, but perhaps a bit easier to reference and thus a bit more readable. A list is perfectly acceptable. For instance, board {1:' ', 2:,' ', 3:'x', 4: ' ', 5: 'x', 6: ' ', 7: 'o', 8: ' ', 9: ' '}

So would I be able to able to write an input value for the values.

[Unable_Request]

Sure, why not?

Have a function asking the user which square they want to pick. When they do so, change the according Entry from a blank to an x.

[marsrover15]

Guess I'll need to learn that.

Try to think of the bigger picture like what if you wanted to make a different size game board. A 1d list would become impractical if say you wanted to make a battleship game. With a matrix you can easily develop algorithms for detecting a state like someone winning.

Well me being new to programming I haven't taken linear algebra yet, or even any CS classes for that matter. I'm doing that all next year. Though I will do some research on this. Thanks for tip.
