Chestnut Smoke Over the Roofs

Today’s mural

Chestnut Smoke Over the Roofs

Up on the roof terrace you can tell it is November without a calendar. Smoke from the chestnut carts curls up between the chimneys, and the whole hill smells of it. Someone downstairs has already been sent out with a paper cone and strict instructions.

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 roof terrace with a blue-and-white tiled parapet topped with ball finials, a lemon tree and herbs in terracotta pots, a folded blue chair, a blue-and-white pot of blue flowers and a washing line of linen and a striped cloth beside a chimney pot, above a chestnut seller's blue cart with a spoked wheel, a stovepipe and a tray of roasting chestnuts sending curling ribbons of smoke up into the sky, and to the right terracotta roofs, chimneys and little houses tumbling down the hill to a river with a white ferry, boats and the far shore, a church with a blue tiled dome and a cross, cypresses, an orange tree in a pot on a tiled parapet, pots of herbs and lavender on the cobbles, and pigeons flying among cloud scrolls.
