Asleep on the Flour Sack

Today’s mural

Asleep on the Flour Sack

The flour sack in the pantry has been slowly emptying all autumn, and has slumped into exactly the right shape. A patched sleeper has noticed. Bread is still made in this house, but it is now made around certain arrangements.

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.

Azulo Daily

Mural restored

A blue-and-white azulejo mural of a pantry where a patched cat sleeps curled on a slumped flour sack on the patterned terracotta-and-blue tiled floor, beside a tall blue shelf unit of clay jars, jars of quince paste under gingham covers, blue-and-white crocks, a basket of eggs and a potted herb, with strings of onions and garlic and bunches of drying herbs hanging from a beam, a basket of potatoes with a few spilled on the floor, a broom leaning on the wall, a skimmer and two striped tea towels on a peg rail, a wooden bread bin with loaves inside, clay pots and blue-and-white crocks, and a small open window with a bowl of lemons on the sill looking out over terracotta rooftops and chimneys under clouds and a bird.
