GLAZIER — a stained-glass logic puzzle for Android
Restore the light. Pure deduction, no guessing.
Coming soon to Android & iOS
What is GLAZIER?
GLAZIER is a quiet color logic puzzle about restoring the stained-glass windows of an old cathedral, one window at a time. A small medallion sits at the head of every row and every column, showing exactly the colors that line must contain — no more, no fewer. Fit each pane so every line matches its medallion.
One more rule, taught as you play: touching panes never share a color. Between the medallions and the adjacency rule, every window has exactly one solution and it is always reachable by deduction — you never guess, and you're never punished for exploring.

How to play
- A few panes were leaded in place by the old master and stay fixed. The rest are yours.
- Read the medallions at the head of each row and column — they name exactly the colors that line must hold.
- Pick a glass and set it into an empty pane.
- Touching panes may never share a color. When two do, the seam between them glows softly until you fix it — no red, no penalty.
- Every window has exactly one solution, reachable by deduction alone.
- At a dead end, a free rescue points to the earliest pane holding the window back, and hints explain the deduction that decides a pane.
Features
- Seven cathedral chapters — the Chapel, Cloister, Nave, Transept, Chantry, Rosarium and Cathedral — with window shapes that change as you climb
- The Atelier: endless free play at a difficulty you choose — Gentle, Standard, Master or Grandmaster
- A Daily Window for everyone, resetting at your local midnight, with streaks and earned streak freezes
- No timer during play, no fail state, no lives — your solve time is a quiet fact, never a grade
- Readable by everyone: every glass carries its own texture and etched shape matched to its medallion dots, so any window can be solved by pattern alone
- Plays fully offline — no account, no subscription, progress stays on your device
FAQ
- What kind of puzzle is GLAZIER?
- It's a constraint-based color logic puzzle. Each row and column has a medallion naming the exact multiset of colors it must contain, and no two orthogonally touching panes may share a color. If you enjoy Sudoku, Nonograms or Picross, the deduction will feel familiar — but it's played in color rather than numbers.
- Does GLAZIER ever require guessing?
- No. Every window is built with exactly one solution reachable by logic alone, and a free rescue will point you at the earliest wrong pane if you reach a dead end.
- Is there a timer?
- No timer during play, no fail state and no lives. Your solve time appears on the victory screen as a fact, not a score to beat.
- Can it be played without relying on color?
- Yes. Color is never the only signal — every glass has its own texture and an etched shape matched to its medallion dots, so windows can be solved by pattern alone.
- Is GLAZIER out yet?
- Not yet. GLAZIER is coming soon to Android, with iOS to follow. Its sibling puzzles — DELTA, LOCKSTEP, FLIPSIDE, ANOMALY, TRIAD and TOTEM — are available now on Google Play.
