<p>I'm trying to implement the X's and O's in Tic Tac Toe via JavaScript by clicking a square on my board. I have to create X or O for Tic Tac Toe game. But I'm not sure how to make an X or an O. And I need it to be functional like an actual tic-tac-toe game. </p>

You have to iterate over each square because querySelectorAll returns multiple nodes and you can't add event listeners directly on it because addEventListener can only work on one node at a time.

I've also added some CSS to the code snippet below so you can see it working when you run it. Ignore this in the final project.

window.onload = () => {
    
    const squares = document.querySelectorAll(".square")

    let currentPlayer = "X";

    squares.forEach(square => {

        square.addEventListener("click", () => {
                
                if (square.innerHTML === "") {
                    square.innerHTML = currentPlayer;
                    currentPlayer = currentPlayer === "X" ? "O" : "X";
                }
    
            });
    });
};

document.querySelector('#reset-btn').addEventListener('click', () => {
    document.querySelectorAll('.square').forEach(square => {
        square.innerHTML = "";
    });
});

#board {
  margin: 0 auto;
  width: 50%;
}

.row {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 1fr;
}

.square {
  border: 1px solid black;
  padding: 1rem;
  cursor: pointer;
  text-align: center;
  aspect-ratio: 1/1;
  
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
}

.square:hover {
  background-color: #CCCCCC;
}

Edit: I changed the above code snippet to alternate on click, which can be done by initializing a variable with the current player (X or O) and swapping on click using a simple ternary statement use. I also added functionality to your reset button!
