Autumn Light on the Tiles

Today’s mural

Autumn Light on the Tiles

In November the sun comes in lower and finds a wall it ignored all summer. For an hour each morning the old tiles light up one row at a time. Nobody in the house would admit to timing their coffee by it.

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.

Mural restored

A blue-and-white azulejo mural of a wall of patterned blue-and-white tiles above a low blue chest of drawers set with patterned plates, a blue-and-white bowl of pomegranates with a halved one beside it, a small bowl, a lidded sugar pot and a blue-and-white jug of dried ochre hydrangeas, with a patterned plate hanging on the wall above, and to the left an open window under a scrolled blue frame with blue louvred shutters, a little citrus tree in a pot on the sill and a view of terracotta roofs and a church bell tower with a cross under clouds and birds, low autumn sunlight falling in a long slanting band across the terracotta floor tiles, a blue chair with a rush seat, an olive tree in a terracotta pot, a tiled dado and a blue-and-white bowl of lemons on the floor.
