A number puzzle laid out like a desert courtyard: cream ceramic squares with numbers, warm grout and a dusty-rose sky. Tap a square to glaze it dark, tap again to ring it as open, once more to clear it. The workshop runs in seven stages. Wedging · The three rules No number appears twice among the open squares of a row or column. Glazed squares never touch side by side. All open squares stay joined in one area. Every puzzle has exactly one solution. Throwing · The journey Sixty puzzles across six rooms of ten: Small courtyard 5×5, Garden walk 6×6, Fountain hall 7×7, Spice market 8×8, Palace wing 9×9 and Grand hall 10×10. Rooms open in order. Three stars for a solve with no hints under par time, two for one hint at most. Drying · Daily tile One puzzle a day, from 6×6 to 9×9, built from the date, with your quickest time kept for each morning. Glazing · Six colours Burgundy, Fired clay, Indigo kiln, Olive grove, Saffron and Desert night recolour every darkened square. They are fired as your count of solved puzzles grows, the last at 48. Firing · Tools at hand Undo, a hint that fixes one square, and Clear. Conflicts glow brick red: touching glazed pieces, or ringed ones sharing a number. A hint flashes a sage frame. Pressing · Ledger and seals The ledger counts puzzles solved, journey progress, stars, hints, time and daily solves, with quickest times for each size drawn as bars against par. Ten seals wait to be pressed, from First tile to The whole journey. Resting · Settings Haptics, the three rules and a progress reset. Behind the menus three layers of dunes drift, a rose sun glow breathes and dust floats on the wind; the Background animation switch in Settings stills them. Plays offline, with no account and no ads.
