Chrysanthemums on the Steps

Today’s mural

Chrysanthemums on the Steps

On the last day of October the church steps disappear under chrysanthemums, bucket after bucket, sold by the armful for tomorrow. Everyone carries a bunch home up the lanes. The whole hill town smells faintly bitter and green, like a garden after rain.

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 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
  2. A blue-and-white azulejo mural of a wall fountain in a sloping square, its blue-and-white tiled back panel framed in carved stone scrolls under a pointed finial, two bronze spouts running into a round stone basin, jugs and bottles in green, blue and ochre lined up on the rim and a big blue-and-white jug on the cobbles, pink camellias behind the fountain, an iron lamp post, a stone bench with a blue tiled back, a big plane tree with a mottled trunk dropping leaves across the cobbles, stone steps climbing between ivy-covered walls to a lane of ochre houses with terracotta roofs and a balcony, a bell tower with a spire, a cypress and a castle on a far hill, under clouds and birds.The Tiled Fountain
  3. A blue-and-white azulejo mural of wide stone church steps lined with buckets and pots of chrysanthemums in cream, pale blue and dusty rose, climbing past stone posts topped with balls to a small whitewashed church with a scrolled gable, a round rosette, an arched blue door between blue-and-white tiled panels and a lantern on a bracket, a flower seller's wooden handcart loaded with pots of blooms on a big blue spoked wheel, a wooden tub of chrysanthemums at the foot of a cobbled lane winding down between houses with terracotta roofs, a lantern on a scrolled bracket, an ochre bell tower with a dome and a cross, leafy trees and shrubs, and a hill town with cypresses under curling cloud scrolls and birds.Chrysanthemums on the Steps
  4. A blue-and-white azulejo mural of a woman in a patterned apron at the open blue door of a whitewashed corner house, its doorway framed in carved stone with blue trim, holding out a wicker basket of small breads, walnuts and pomegranates to three children with cloth bags slung over their shoulders, a window box of coral flowers above a tiled frieze, a cloth bag and a blue-and-white pot of pink flowers by the doorstep, an iron lamp on a scrolled bracket and ivy climbing the wall, and to the right a cobbled lane of whitewashed houses with terracotta roofs, window boxes and lanterns where more children go door to door and a boy knocks at a blue door, potted plants in a blue-and-white urn, a heap of walnuts on the cobbles, a bird on a chimney and a hill town with a tower under curling clouds and birds.Pão-por-Deus
