Glazier: Restore the Light

Glazier is a quiet logic puzzle about restoring the stained-glass windows of an old cathedral — one window at a time. No timer. No fail. Just you, the glass, and the light. THE RULE (you'll have it in ten seconds): Small medallions sit at the head of every row and every column. Each one shows the colors that line must contain — exactly those, no more, no fewer. Fit each pane so every row and column matches its medallion. One more rule, taught as you play: touching panes never share a color. When the last pane is right, light floods through the window. HOW YOU PLAY: A few panes were leaded in place by the old master and stay fixed. The rest are yours. Pick a glass — Ruby, Amber, Cobalt or Emerald — and set it into an empty pane. Every window has exactly one solution, reachable by deduction alone. You never guess, and you're never punished for exploring. GENTLE BY DESIGN: When two touching panes match, the seam between them glows softly until you fix it — no red, no penalty, no scolding. If you ever reach a dead end, a free rescue quietly points to the earliest pane that's holding the window back. And the hints teach: they explain the deduction that decides a pane, rather than just handing you the answer. A LADDER OF WINDOWS: Restore your way from the Chapel through the Cloister, the Nave, the Transept, the Chantry, the Rosarium, and the Cathedral. All four glasses are yours from the very first window, and it's the windows themselves that change — a square light gives way to an arch, a chamfered vault, a great rose. A DAILY WINDOW: One fresh window every day, the same for everyone, resetting at your own local midnight. Keep a streak going — and if life gets in the way, a banked streak freeze can save it. Freezes are earned, never sold. EVERY WINDOW EARNS ITS LIGHT: Finish a window and the sun floods through: the medallions light in turn, colored pools fall on the cathedral floor, and three stars glow. Your solve time appears here as a quiet fact — never a grade, never a clock ticking over your shoulder. BUILT TO BE READ BY EVERYONE: Color is never the only signal. Every glass carries its own texture and an etched shape, matched to its medallion dots, so any window can be solved by pattern alone. Big, readable glyphs; a calm, candlelit "Nocturne" look; reduced-motion support throughout. FAIR AND QUIET: ★ No timer during play, no fail state, no lives. ★ Every window — the whole ladder and the daily — is free, forever. ★ One solution per window, always reachable by logic. Never a guess. ★ Free teaching hints inside the tutorial; optional hint packs if you want more. ★ Premium glass themes and a one-time Remove Ads are there if you want them — never required. No subscription. ★ Plays offline. No account. Your progress lives on your device. If you love a short rule and a deep, calm solve — Sudoku, Nonograms, Picross, or a meditative color puzzle at the end of the day — pull up a window and let the light back in. Restore the light.
