The Lane of Tiled Doors

Today’s mural

The Lane of Tiled Doors

The lane climbs so steeply that the doorsteps are staggered like stairs. Every door has its own tile surround, no two alike, chosen long ago by someone who wanted to be found. Moss fills the cracks between, and nobody has ever scrubbed it off.

How to play

  1. 1

    Place. Drag a tile from the tray onto the wall. Drop it on another tile to swap them.

  2. 2

    Turn. Tap a tile to rotate it a quarter turn clockwise.

  3. 3

    Restore. A tile in its right place, the right way up, glints. Fill the wall to finish.

The small mural on the side shows what you’re rebuilding. Tap it to see it larger. Once the wall is full, a clue can point out a tile that’s wrong. Tiles that look identical are interchangeable. On a keyboard: arrows to move, Enter to turn, Space to pick up and put down, Delete to send a tile back to the tray.

A cozy tile puzzle, once a day

Azulo Daily is a free daily picture puzzle made of tiles, played in your browser. Every day there is one new blue-and-white mural, painted in the style of Portuguese azulejos: the glazed ceramic tiles that line the walls of cloisters, chapels, railway stations and old houses across Portugal. The panel arrives in pieces: forty-five tiles on a shelf, shuffled and turned the wrong way. Put it back together at your own pace. There is no countdown, and nothing is lost if you walk away and come back.

Everyone gets the same mural and the same scramble on the same day, so you can compare times with a friend. A new mural arrives at midnight, your local time. It’s free, with no sign-up and nothing to install.

Questions

When does the puzzle change?
At midnight, wherever you are.
Does it save my progress?
Yes, in this browser. Close the tab and your tiles stay where you left them.
Can I replay a mural?
Yes. Once it’s restored, Replay deals the same tiles again, and Start over does the same partway through. Your first restore is the one you share and the one that counts for your streak; your best replay is shown beside it.
Is there more to play?
Azulo Monastery has thirty murals across six acts, on iPhone, iPad and Android. No ads, and it works offline.

Past puzzles

  1. A blue-and-white azulejo mural of a fanciful hilltop palace with ochre towers, blue domes and crenellated walls rising out of swirling mist on a wooded ridge, a battlemented wall running down into the mist, and on the left a hill town of blue-tiled roofs, chimneys and a church spire stepping down the slope beside a cypress and a tall feathery tree, with a cobbled road winding up past a stone wall, an iron lamp post on a stone pillar, flowering shrubs, a chimney on a tiled roof, a tiled bench with a floral back, and birds in a sky of curling cloud scrolls.Towers in the Mist
  2. A blue-and-white azulejo mural of a cobbled lane climbing between whitewashed houses with mossy terracotta roofs, each doorway up its own short flight of steps and framed by a different tiled surround in blue, green or ochre, with small wall lanterns, windows and potted plants, and on the right a flight of stone steps with an iron handrail climbing past stone pillars and an iron boot-scraper, a big lantern on a scrolled bracket, an ivy-covered stone wall with a window, camellias in clay pots, ferns and moss in the cracks and a drain in the cobbles, under chimneys, an ochre bell tower with a blue dome and the roofs of the hill town among trees, curling clouds and a few birds.The Lane of Tiled Doors
  3. A blue-and-white azulejo mural of a patched cat curled asleep on top of a tall, square stone gate pillar covered in moss and ivy, beside an open blue wrought-iron gate with scrollwork and a second pillar topped with a stone ball, with mist scrolls drifting through the bars past flowering camellias, a cobbled path leading to an ochre villa with a terracotta roof, an arched loggia, a blue-and-white tiled panel, a blue-and-white urn and steps up to the porch, a tall feathery tree fern and a big spreading tree, ferns and broad leaves at the foot of the pillar, camellias in a big blue-and-white pot, and a hill town with cypresses and a domed tower in the mist under curling clouds.Asleep on the Gate Pillar
  4. A blue-and-white azulejo mural of a pastry shop's arched window framed in blue-and-white tiles, its stepped shelves holding trays of puff-pastry pillows, little custard tarts and almond biscuits with steam curling up behind them, a tray of almond biscuits on a pedestal stand, the open blue shop door with glass panes, a small hanging lantern, a framed picture and a potted plant inside, a hanging iron sign shaped like a tart, a big lantern on a scrolled bracket, climbing vines with pink blossoms over ochre walls under a blue-tiled roof and a chimney, a blue-and-white planter, a café table with two cups and a vase of flowers beside an iron chair on the cobbles, and on the left a yellow tram on a curving track below a hill town with a domed tower and cypresses, a river with a sailboat and a stone bridge, under clouds and birds.The Pastry Shop Window
